Maybe so. Whoever is building 529 S 15th seems to think so. At least according to picture on sale site.

Shame on you taking all that medical money and making a political deal that has nothing to do with better health care. Love those sky boxes, do ya?

I have several friends at BSU, St Luke’s and in the Boise City staff. They ALL say that the St. Luke’s Boise City, Stadium deal is being worked daily and is all “but a done deal”.

This is another case of all the players doing the deal in the dark and then asking for forgiveness after the fact. The players are lying.

Glad this has come to light. There are much better uses for the Americana site than baseball. Baseball belongs at Hawk’s Stadium, including the new improved Hawk’s Stadium on the Ada County Fairgrounds site. That way the tickets will remain affordable.

If the project goes through it will be parking hell. There is simply no possible way to accommodate the volume of traffic and the parking at the proposed site.

As a planning engineer I can tell you that the better site is across from and east of the proposed CWI site where you can co locate parking garages and access the in and out of the freeway.

Whomever is planning this disaster must be from either Colorado or Oregon and smoking some weed while doing the planning.

Don’t forget the turd in the punchbowl with that development site: the new dentist’s office at intersection of the two major streets. I suspect the dentists own enough land to be in a position of strength when it comes for the developers to want as much space as possible.

Curious. Does this have anything to do with BSU’s attempt to get into a higher competitive market, and bring baseball to BSU?
Also, if they want a big league game here, then how are they going to fill the stadium? Boise hawks are practically giving away tickets, and still cannot fill the stands.

Obvious Russian meddling!!
Send in the mine resistant ambush protection vehicles full of SWAT teams to save mother, apple pie, flag, bible, and baseball.

Referring to Mike Journee’s comments on the F-35… aren’t these just a bunch of citizens trying to insert themselves into the process? I guess a lot depends on who the citizens are.
