City weighs new
soccer stadium
A new 15,000- to 20,000-
seat soccer stadium is a
possibility for Edmonton,
but not before the city is
convinced there’s a need.
City councillors voted
on Monday to move the
idea forward, asking city
administration to study if a
new stadium is required.
Edmonton FC president
Tom Fath told city council-
lors that while his team
would love such a facility,
there is also a need for it to
host international events.
