There are several reasons why Benet has proposed renovating its existing stadium. From a safety perspective, locating a stadium and track adjacent to two major arterial roads is atypical for this type of facility and counter productive to safety objections. Building on the corner would introduce additional pedestrians circulating the stadium closer to this busy intersection, rather than internal to the Benet property. The safest option is to keep the stadium where it has been located since 1961.

The primary reason the school has not proposed locating the stadium along the eastern boundary is that the property is subject to a legal covenant that prohibits certain construction in that location. Benet cannot propose a facility in a location where it does not have the legal right to build.

Secondly, Village professional staff has also indicated they would not support location at the northwest corner of Yackley Avenue and Maple Avenue for both safety and vehicular circulation reasons.
