He said soccer field is similar in size to that of football and team would need field for games on eit- her Saturdays or Sundays.

Commissioner Stuart stated that he had thought we had everything we needed for use of the Ramb- lets including bleachers when we had approved their coming to Redwood City and that we should check things out more thor- oughly before entering into any more deals of this sort. Concerning a $10,000 item which had been included in budget request for bleacher purchase, but deleted, Mrs. Thompson was asked to check Council minutes on what had been included in Council approval on, Ramblers coming to Redwood City. , , .-... - -- , .. -, '" ,---.------'- , . , , ,:, '.
