I was listening to 93.9 this morning (gotta love the "straight from the streetz" sports report) and the newsperson mentioned a stadium going up in SE with FieldTurf. The facility will be for soccer, football and band shows. Anyone else hear about this? It kinda took me by surprise.

Could this be what they were talking about?
