Other communities <br />put a high priority on these kinds of projects for their communities. Go visit Medford, or Bend or any of the <br />Portland areas, you will find community built and supported Fields for their youth. Corvallis also offers such a <br />complex. <br />We spend a lot of time, effort and money on things that do not benefit most of the people most of the time. <br />This community needs a nice sports complex, a large sports complex. <br />We have a miriad of Club Sports that are very competative. These Clubs draw competitiors from all areas of the <br />state and beyond. These organizations do enhance our area with visitors, who spend money. We need to step up <br />to the plate and offer a decent space for everyone. <br />It is embarassing to have a Portland team come to Eugene to play in our case, soccer. We are allocated to some <br />back field some where, that is hard to find, full of chuck holes and poorly maintained, while just a few yards from <br />this same field a nice Turf field sits being unused. You should have to listen to the comments of the visitors in this <br />situation, certainly not complimentary at all. <br />This city, Eugene, has a terrible reputation throughout the state, the city that gets nothing done. Do I like hearing <br />that, no I do not, but it is true. <br />Lets build some turf fields for our youth, we will never run out of them, so lets support our most valuable resource. <br />Thank you, <br />Lorna Roberts <br />Eugene, Oregon 97405 <br /> <br />4/14/2006 <br />
