Simeon Stadium returning to High Point?
Ok, the 10,000-seat stadium never left High Point - it's pretty tough to move something that big.
But the city hasn't owned it since 1983, when it made a trade with High Point City Schools for Leonard Street School, which is now the police department's headquarters. Guilford County Schools became the stadium's owner in 1993 when the High Point, Greensboro and county school systems merged.
City leaders want to take back control of the stadium, believing they have more money and expertise for upgrades and maintenance. The details of how this takeover would happen haven't been worked out. City leaders are scheduled to make a presentation to the county school board June 14.
What do you think, loyal Scoop readers? Does this sound like a good or bad idea? Why?
