It has ignited a pretty healthy debate, Prime. I think the premise is interesting, though I don't see them doing a race and a soccer match at the same time. Two words: lung cancer. Idaho might be a perfect place for sub-MLS soccer, and could be a lynchpin market for a revamped USL Pro western division if they had the cojones to try it. All they have in the summer is short-season A ball. I checked it out on Google Earth. The track could pull off a 105mx68m field.
Here's a link to the feasibility study ... http://economicdevelopment.cityofboise.org/PDF/StadiumMarketStudy.pdf
Awesome, love to hear that they might put down turf since they are worried about soccer's impact on the baseball surface. Great way to start. Like the idea of another PDL team owned by a sports team though.
Slightly surprising since PDL teams only play 8 home games (and maybe a few playoff games?). I wonder how much of an impact the Sporting KC Wizards games had on that minor league park they were playing in last year.
If they did manage to build a new baseball stadium downtown, do you think they could do a soccer team with a stadium at the current Memorial Stadium site?
