I agree.
Are velodromes the new skatepark?
Track racing is a pretty expensive sport for the athletes. More expensive than swimming, baseball, basketball, track & field, football, and even tennis.
To the OP: Are you sure that you aren't proposing using school board money to build a track for YOU? How would you feel if they built the track and only allowed Arlington students to use it like they do gyms, football fields, and baseball diamonds?
