Barnstormers owner likes state plan to help fund arenas

December 31, 1999 By admin

Iowa Barnstormer President Jim Foster is hoping a plan by republican state lawmakers to establish a fund to help finance major city attractions like sports arenas will be the first step toward getting a new arena in Des Moines. The plan, calling for a 300-million dollar fund will be taken up when the legislature convenes next month.Foster says state money would be just one part of the equation and would also include local and private dollars.Foster believes if the plan wins legislative approval and the governor’s signature all the pieces will fall into place.Foster says while the Barnstormers have been vocal on the issue, the benefits of a new arena in Des Moines would be wide ranging.
