[Vision2020] Playfield

[James Reynolds]

Matt,

I wasn't part of the committee but judging from the makeup it seems that the 
interested parties were all engaged so I am allowing their compromise to 
stand for me also. Of course some folk wanted lights or it would not have 
been an issue but the final thought of the committee was that the lights 
would cause more harm than good. I think that this was driven most by the 
fact that the UI has the observatory on the golf course hill and the 
southern sky is very important to that program. It seems reasonable that the 
lights not be put up if they would impinge upon an existing use of that 
horizon.

I am also not so sure that the lights would be much utilized by the 
children. It seems as if the lights were more wanted by the adult league 
teams and the new fields are supposed to be for the children.
