Introduction A. I�innesota Amateur S or s mmission In 1987 the Minnesota a ur Sports Commission (MASC) was formed to promote amateur spo s 'n Minnesota. MASC has an ambitious mission that calls for p o 16 national training centers for Olympic sports by 1990 n the development of athletic facilities for all of the major s e and winter Olympic sports. Projects completed or under cons r tion include the National Sports CenLer in Blaine which ' ea ures world class bicycling and soccer facilities, the Giant's' Ri ge ski complex and the Saint Clou3 State University ice ar na. B. Pur ose of the Saint Pa l ational Indoor S orts Center This proposed facility il play an important role in the MASC ' sports facility portfol o. This facility would be able to host training and small scal c mpetitions in the following sports: Badminton G nastics Table Tennis Basketball Ju o Taekwondo Boxing Ka ate Team Handball Fencing Ro ler-Skating Volleyball C. Recommended Course of A ti n PED staff have conducte a preliminary feasibility analysis of the facility. While it app ar there is great support for the facility from represent ti es of local and regional amateur sports groups, potential corpo at users, neighborhood residents, and Metropolitan State Univ rs ty and State University Baard officials, further anal si must be done to project annual revenues and operating nd maintenance costs. PED staff recommend, th re ore, that the city request MASC to pursue funding for a st dy grant from the state legislature. This would allow for further n lysis of the potential income and cost of operating the facili . ' If the study demonstrates more clearly that the facility could re k even, PED will then apply to MASC for bonding for facilit co struction. The attached draft resol ti n supports this course of action. II. Siting and Design � A number of sites have been an ly ed for the location of this facility, all on or adjacent to the new et opolitan State University headquarters. Two good possib li ies--one on the south side of East Sixth Street between Mounds an M ria, and one on the Metro U parking . ��� ��-� � lot bounded by Maria, Bates, as Sixth and East Seventh--have been eliminated, the former becaus t e necessary width of the facility could � not be accommodated, and the at er because the cost of acquiring 15 units of housing and building re lacement parking for Metro U was prohibitive. The current proposal is that he facility be located on the north side of East Seventh Street, betwe n wede Hollow and Maria Avenue, on the site of Nobles Industries. is site would be contingent on favorable negotiations with the owners f obles, who have expressed interest in relocating to another site in Sa nt Paul in order to expand their operations. The facility would contain ni e olleyball courts, a weight room, locker rooms, and an elevated runnin t ack. A retractable netting system would allow many different sp rt to be conducted simultaneously. The facility would have bleacher ea ing available for approximately 1000 people, for small scale compe it ons, and 350 surface parking on or adjacent to the site, as requ re by the zoning code. III. Ownership and Operation The Minnesota Amateur Sports o ission is prohibited from owning the amateur sports facilities the s onsor. The city would thus own the facility, and ideally, lease 't o another entity to operate. The proposed study grant woul a low the city to more completely estimate the facility's poten ia income and�operating costs, and if the operation appears feasible, t s licit a commitment for a facility operator.
