Downtown Spokane Partnership
SPOKANE, Wash. The Spokane Public Facilities District voted Friday to enter into an agreement with Spokane Public Schools to build a new downtown sports stadium.
The deal has not been finalized and now heads to the school board for consideration.
The proposal for the new downtown stadium was most recently brought forward by the Downtown Spokane Partnership in March. A few years ago, Spokane voters decided they wanted their money to be put toward a rebuild at the district’s current stadium, Joe Albi, instead of a new stadium. The DSP proposal suggests the school district use $31 million in pre-approved funds toward a new downtown location.

SPOKANE, Wash. Soon, the proposed downtown stadium could get the next push it needs to be a reality. The Spokane Public School Board will discuss the stadium proposal and possibly make a decision Wednesday night.
This comes after nearly two months of people expressing their desires to bring it downtown, and drawing lots of opposition, too.
The discussion tonight will be the first time we actually hear thoughts from board members about bringing the stadium downtown, or for building at the current Joe Albi site.
In the last month, the board has been gathering opinions and figuring out what to do on this controversial proposed stadium.
