THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE HOME

Minneapolis DeLaSalle’s football team will be playing on a new football field starting next year. With much of the controversy behind them, the school has been building their field behind the school.

For more then a few years there was controversy over the football/sports complex on the island where DeLaSalle resides. The neighbors that lived near the school didn’t want the field to be built which forced the Islanders to find other fields to play their home games.

So with the opening of the new football complex the team is getting excited. The coaching staff thinks that it will bring more of a community atmosphere to the Island and now all the students have to do is go across the parking lot for a home game rather then travel to another metro area school.
