Saint Paul National Indoor Sports en er
Study Grant Proposal to the Minnes ta Amateur Sports Commission
Executive Summary
March 8, 1989
I. 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.
