Mayor Mattirew Godfrey2549 Washington BlvdOgden, Utah 84401

Dear Mayor Godfrey:

On behalf of Weber State University, I am writing to express our support for the Ogden FieldHouse project that is being proposed west of Wall Avenue between 20t'' and 21't Streets. Thisproject has the potential for having a significant impact on the recreational landscape for Ogden,Weber County, and Northem Utah. I believe the field house project can enhance the burgeoningrecreation reputation of our region.

L-r addition to the velodrome and bike racing surface, we believe that the mr-rlti-functional aspectsof the facility will serve the community well. As you know, WSU has lacked a facility where ourathletics teams (e.g. soccer, football, and tennis) can practice in inclement weather. Weappreciate being approached about the potential of sharing in the use of this facility to addressthis need in a way that leverages resources for both the city and the university.

Weber State University will assist the city to approach targeted private, philanthropic sources tohelp raise money forihe project. We are hopeful that they willbe receptive of this proposal.Thor"rgh the exact arrangements for how we might participate using the facility will be workedout a later time, we appreciate the value of this suggested parlnership.

As a university, we're proud to call Ogden home and appreciate all the work and support thatcorres from the broader community.

s and Happy Holidays,

RE: Ogden Field House/Soccer Complex

To Whom lt May Concern;

It has been brought to my attention that Ogden City is entertaining the idea of a central, outdoor andindoor, sports field house within the city limits. I just wanted to take the time to send you a letteroffering my support for the idea. The board of directors for AYSO R351 supports this proposal LOO% as

well. We face issues every year with availability of fields and enough fields in general. A field housewith outdoor and indoor soccer fields would allow the Cities youth to participate in the sport yearround. This field house would solve some of these issues and would strengthen the youth athleticprograms of Ogden City in general.

I feel Ogden City officials have gone to great efforts to improve the city on so many levels. This isanother feather in the cap that will benefit residence of this unique city. These types of sports facilitiesare vital to the infrastructure and success of major cities. Ogden is without question the major city inNorthern Utah and needs to lead the way. I also believe this is a first step toward Ogden City having a

profitable city ran soccer league. Ogden soccer would provide the opportunity for more than double theamount of kids to play then we can provide.

We would love to see the field house come to fruition. lf there is anything we can do to help thismaterialize please don't hesitate to ask.
