Oppose a proposed stadium on Nicollet Island

Aerial view of Nicollet Island. Historic Grove Street would have to be vacated (read: removed) to make way for the proposed stadium.

Friends of the Mississippi River is currently working in a coalition with the Preservation Alliance of Minnesota and Sierra Club Northstar Chapter to encourage a thoughtful, historically-sensitive alternative to a football stadium that DeLaSalle has proposed for Nicollet Island in Minneapolis. We have been advocating for the consideration of alternative sites, but DeLaSalle wont budge until the city turns them down. Thats where we need you.

If youre a Minneapolis resident, please contact your Minneapolis City Council member and Mayor Rybak and ask them to deny any measures sought by DeLaSalle related to the stadium until they demonstrate that they have fully explored other options.
