McEuen Field Upgrade Foes Rally

Item: Opponents rally against McEuen Field project/Nick Rotunno, CdA Press

More Info: Mordantly amusing, the big signpost greeted visitors at McEuen Field on Saturday afternoon, its colorful arrows pointing every which way. "Fancy Marina - $1.3M," read one arrow, aimed at Lake Coeur d'Alene. "Ritzy Ice Skating - $1.1M," read another. At the very top, just below a large dollar sign, an arrow painted with the words "$14.7M - Parking Palace" speared toward downtown. Created by opponents of the extensive - and expensive - McEuen Field project, the signpost warned of probable construction costs - at last estimate, between $23 and $39 million altogether.

Question: What impact are opponents of proposed McEuen Field renovations having?
