Dear Fort Collins, a 100% protected City Natural Area is the most unifying, inclusive, and protective use for the Old Hughes Stadium land 

There is ONLY ONE TRULY EQUITABLE, PROTECTIVE and ALREADY-FUNDED future for Hughes:

100% of Hughes must be designated an official
City Natural Area.

Hughes is SACRED. Let’s choose
COMMUNITY and LAND CONSERVATION.

No more LAND CONSUMPTION, DEVELOPMENT and EXPLOITATION of Hughes by private organizations and special interests with deep-pocketed funders.

See the following website for the History & Legislative Intent of the nearly decade-long fight to protect & preserve Hughes, including the 2021 citizen-driven ballot measure:
