IT COST THE STATE'S BIGGEST SCHOOL DISTRICT 38 MILLION DOLLARS, OR JUST OVER 54-HUNDRED DOLLARS PER SEAT. THE NEW 7-THOUSAND SEAT A-P-S COMMUNITY STADIUM ON ALBUQUERQUE'S WEST SIDE IS OPERATIONAL. ALBUQUERQUE PUBLIC SCHOOLS C-O-O BRAD WINTER SAYS IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE THE DISTRICT ADDED A NEW STADIUM. HE SAYS MILNE WAS BUILT IN THE 1930S AND WILSON STADIUM WAS BUILT IN THE 1960S.
THE NEW FACILITY WILL HOST FOOTBALL GAMES THIS WEEKEND. THE FIRST GAME WAS WEDNESDAY NIGHT FOLLOWING A RIBBON CUTTING CEREMONY. THE STADIUM IS LOCATED OFF 98TH STREET, NORTH OF I-40.
