Why is Fort Collins voting on the Hughes Stadium land, anyway? How we got here
Campaign signs are going up, urging Fort Collins residents to vote one way or another on ballot issue 303, "a 100% Hughes natural area for all," and 2H, which calls for a "Hughes for everyone."
Those signs are, of course, a reference to the former Colorado State University Hughes Stadium land in west Fort Collins that is now owned by the city.
But if you're a newcomer to Fort Collins, or it simply hasn't been on your radar until now, you might not understand why this is even up for a vote.
Read on to find out how we got to this point from the original development of Hughes Stadium and why there are two questions on the November ballot regarding the site.
