We are going to put up a full community stunner .It is going to have obviously the stands. It’s going to be concrete platform it will be three sided and then the other side will have rest room, there will be dressing rooms and obviously the offices, so it is going to be really a nice good size project and a great place for the community to meet the other and come together”.
