Concerned Neighbors Appeal Against Building New Mexico United Stadium

3.1.24 – Plans to construct a new soccer stadium for New Mexico United have been paused following a decision from a land use hearing officer last month to send the project back to Albuquerque’s Environmental Planning Commission for review. The move comes after months of vocal pushback from neighbors concerned with the team’s plans to build the stadium at Balloon Fiesta Park. In January — before the project was sent back to the EPC — Andy Lyman, editor of the alternative newsweekly The Paper., spoke with one of those concerned neighbors about why she and others want a foul called on the new field.
