Jacobs Entertainment is entering the animated flat fields for tournaments discussions with a plan to use some of its downtown property south of the J Resort festival grounds for soccer and lacrosse youth fields.
Under the plan, the first four of 12 hoped for fields would open in summer 2026, according to this released rendering.
A location was given for three of the fields, on Ralston St., W 2nd street and on Washington St. but not for the fourth one, or the eight other ones.
This announcement comes as Jacobs representatives are due in front of City Council today to give a general update on their overall plans after starting to buy and destroy many motels in the downtown area in 2017, with concert areas, the 245 North Arlington apartment complex, one motel converted into housing, art displays and many parking lots since set up, while the also bought out Sands Regency was renamed as the J Resort.
