This newspaper article, posted by the Register-Guard, talks about the deadline instituted on February 19, to save Civic Stadium. Those in support to renovate the historic landmark, have six months to raise $3 million. This proposal is the last chance for supporters to save Civic Stadium. If they fail to raise enough money, the stadium will not be saved and city of Eugene will have to say good-bye to their beloved ball park that has been a proud part of the city’s culture since 1938.
Agreed Terms to the Proposal:
CITY OF EUGENE
Development proposal: Athletics/recreation venue; preservation of stadium grandstands
Purchase offer: $4.5 million
Conditions: Offer depends on at least $3 million in private funding raised within six months for renovation, maintenance and operation, plus a business plan. City Council will then evaluate the offer for up to three months before finalizing.
