Fairpark ideal for stadium

Published: Sunday, June 5 2005 12:00 a.m. MDT

Vasilios Priskos' comparison of the Delta Center to Franklin Covey Field is puzzling (May 29). The Delta Center hosts a popular sport, played by a national team, whereas Franklin Covey Field hosts minor league baseball. This difference is the reason for the success of the Jazz and the decline in attendance at Franklin Covey, not the locations of the respective venues. Major League Soccer, like minor league baseball, is a high-risk venture, and any planned stadium should be built on low-risk, free property. The Utah State Fairpark fits this description perfectly.
