SOS -- Save Our Stadium! Support and Promote PND Purchase of Peoria Stadium
The Issue
Scope
This is a grassroots effort, comprised of concerned Peoria residents, to encourage Peoria Notre Dame High School to purchase the Peoria Stadium. We believe this is an exciting new vision for the residents and the neighborhoods of Peoria!
The Problem
District 150 wants to sell the Peoria Stadium property as they are currently building new sports/athletic facilities at Central High School. Walmart has tried to buy it before and there are recent rumors they are positioning for a second attempt. The loss of this historic stadium and green space in the center of Peoria would be a disappointment for ALL Peorians.
Additionally, the current PND Capital Campaign to build facilities at Allen Road has been delayed due to the project not having the complete support of either the parents or alumni. We believe we can help by showing PND that there is not only support but widespread excitement for the purchase of Peoria Stadium.
The Opportunity
Peoria Stadium is available for purchase and it holds a special place in the hearts of virtually every Peorian who has fond memories of being there as an athlete, coach, cheerleader, parent or fan. In 2013, the Neighborhoods voiced unanimous support to District 150 for continued sports/recreational use of the historic Peoria Stadium property.
It is our goal that Peoria Notre Dame High School, with support from civic leaders, the neighborhoods, student body, alumni and donor base sell the property at Allen Road and use the funds to purchase, upgrade, and renovate Peoria Stadium. The benefits of doing so include:
- Keeping PND in the center of the City closest to the people and neighborhoods who need it most
- Preserving a recreational green space and Peoria historical landmark
- Improving ties between the Bergan and AOL/Spalding alumni, bringing them further into the Notre Dame Community
- Reinvigorating the PND Capital Campaign, by bringing in new and generous donors to what will surely be seen as an exciting opportunity to improve not only PND, but the City and surrounding neighborhoods for future generations of Peorians.
Action Items:
- Sign this online petition to show your support of PND purchasing Peoria Stadium
- Spread the word about your enthusiasm for the project and forward this petition on to your family and friends.
- Stay tuned for updates and an opportunity to make a difference!
