"The controversy continues to stir over a Westside stadium currently under construction.The long row of construction equipment near the Interstate 40 and 98th Street exit of the Westside are reminding taxpayers of a controversy that has built both support and animosity throughout many neighborhoods.While many residents have voiced their opposition, saying they want to build an education corridor, both city and Albuquerque Public Schools leaders have said that the stadium is desperately needed.\"We think it's going to be a real asset to the community,\" said city councilor Ken Sanchez.Many feel the stadium will help increase property values in the area, and for the first time, officials said Westside schools will not have to travel across town to play at either Wilson or Milne stadiums.\"They are building the APS football stadium kind of like a pit. It's in a bowl, which I think will mitigate many of the sound problems. I know residents are still worried about traffic, but we've waited for many years on Albuquerque's Westside to see a football stadium,\" Sanchez said.Some residents find the underground concept appealing.\"I wasn\u2019t privy to that initially, but I think that's a pretty good idea,\" said resident Bill McMillan.City leaders plan to hold a tour at the new stadium site at 11 a.m. Saturday.The stadium is set to be completed in May in time for 2013's football season."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
