Legislative Findings and Intent

As a result of the damage caused by the typhoons and super-typhoons that have plagued our Island in the last five (5) years, Guam’s outdoor sporting facilities have deteriorated dramatically. Guam’s youth and adult sporting leagues are left searching for sites to hold their annual sporting competitions. It is the consensus of I Liheslaturan Guåhan that the development and construction of a multi-purpose outdoor sports facility will enhance the growth of such outdoor sports as football, soccer, tennis, baseball, softball, and rugby on Guam and attract not only regional and international events, but also Asian professional and college teams seeking a venue for spring training, giving a much needed boost to Guam’s tourism industry. The University of Guam, with its existing outdoor sports facilities provides a suitable location for the development of a first class outdoor multi-purpose sports complex.
