Jason Stargel, was also at the community meeting Thursday night. He said he was "shocked" by the possibility of the school stadium named after his father being replaced with a professional soccer stadium.  "We feel that the stadium is a landmark fixture down in the West End community, and that's where Pop served as a teacher, a coach, and he impacted the lives of so many kids down there that we felt it would be a travesty if something like that was to happen in this school and the stadium was to be removed," the younger Stargel said.  Jason Stargel also shared concerns for the greater community and the impact of gentrification in the West End.  "For the neighborhood, we worry about displacement ... It seems that we're losing ground for our kids, and we worry about that," he said.
