I love the idea of putting a stadium development in the old landfill site but it does face significant uphill battle. Not only does it need large funding to clean it, there are community members (especially preservationists) that will be against it. I attended a meeting a while ago to hear about the reintegration of water in the Santa Cruz and there was a speaker of Native descent that said it would be disrespectful to bring back to life the river because of the negative history of draining the ground water, that they would need the blessings from the elders, and it should just be left alone (all of it ironic because the city was allowed to dump trash in the same area..)

If developers go the easy route, I think they will choose the new Kino Sports complex area and build off there.
