THUNDER BAY – After a push for a $45 million indoor turf facility at Chapples Park failed to win approval under Thunder Bay’s previous city council, sports groups are now endorsing a vision for a cheaper alternative adjacent to the Community Auditorium.
The SNO proposal has already won the endorsement of indoor turf users and the Community Auditorium itself, Veneziale said. More importantly, the concept includes a slightly larger field than the previous design considered by council, which could still be divided into four smaller pitches. He said the proposal is in line with the position city councillors took on the indoor turf facility during the recent election campaign.
Coun. Mark Bentz, one of several councillors who say they support building an indoor turf facility but rejected a $39 million tender to build at Chapples, called the SNO proposal an exciting development, but echoed Gale’s note of caution. His club, which he said would likely be the largest user group, currently plays on a converted ice rink at the Thunder Bay Tournament Centre in the colder months.
