As we have been saying all along, it makes the most sense to build the indoor pool at the complex;
White cites proximity to I-90 and I-29 as a chief advantage of building a new indoor aquatics center at the Sports Complex. It makes such a facility more attractive to a wider region. Experience with existing venues for football, volleyball, basketball and wrestling suggest larger swim meets could be hosted at a Sports Complex pool than at a Spellerberg pool, White says.
The collection of venues at the Sports Complex creates a synergy that could lead to new motels, restaurants and retail development at the site, according to White. Sanford has already sold land at the Sports Complex for such amenities. A new indoor pool helps make that case, he says.
Ah, duh. So we will see if the city council and mayor are stupid enough to push forward on Spellerberg.
