The Sound of Ground Breaking

Congratulations to the Colorado Rapids and Kroenke Sports Enterprises. Just a few minutes ago they broke ground on the new Prairie Gateway Complex in Commerce City, Colo. The complex will have 24 soccer/lacrosse practice fields as well as a 20-26,000 seat soccer stadium.

The complex is set to open in April 2007.

The Rocky Mountain News has some more interesting information.

"The Prairie Gateway project, situated on the southwest corner of the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge, is about eight miles from downtown Denver and roughly the same distance from Denver International Airport.

The project plan also calls for a civic center for the Commerce City government, a visitors center that will serve as the entrance to the wildlife refuge, and offices for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service."
