Mayor Brian Stack and some other individuals in Union City government think that Roosevelt Stadium and other historic sites in this city should be torn down in the name of progress. Brian Stack is going against his own city ordinances; he passed a Union City Historical Preservation Act when he first obtained his mayors position. The majority of the people of Union City and sounding areas also feel that progress should not be a reason to get rid of our past.
There is only one other stadium in the country bearing the name Roosevelt Stadium and built as a tribute to Franklin Roosevelt. This other Stadium is in Hawaii. The historical value of this stadium is priceless!
This stadium rich in history, design and usefulness is being destroyed. Why? When there are other alternatives. Preserve, protect and renovate. Rebuild our schools and build new schools in areas where there is no loss of history. Schools are a necessity and the education of our children is our hope for the future, but we can not destroy or forget our past.
We as a society must protect our precious treasures. This is only the beginning of Brian Stack’s plans, How many other landmarks and historic sites will be torn down before the people of (Hudson County and specifically Union City) wake up and do something to stop these horrible acts?
I call to the people of Union City, please help, by not letting this Icons be torn down.

Brian Stack, it is not to late, enforce the Historic Preservation Acts NOW! Save this stadium.
