The stadium is intended to host a 3rd division pro soccer team along with HS football. There’s something of a building boom of stadiums in the 5,000-20,000 range of late, mostly for soccer. I’d read that this tops out at 5K.
The talk on the EWU board seems to center around playing football games in that stadium. Hadn’t seen this reference to “championship events,” which might well mean Big Sky soccer. My point is, however, this wouldn’t happen if a soccer team can’t sell beer in the stadium. Extra $$. Besides, the only football I’d imagine EWU playing there would be early September when they’re playing some unknown.... and probably use it to recruit Spokane high schoolers to the school.
BTW, a somewhat similar soccer stadium is proposed in Eugene.
