Dear Editor: I’m responding to Mike Ivey’s May 21 story “Camp Randall hotel on hold again?”
As a former Vilas neighborhood resident, I opposed Bob Sieger’s original Fieldhouse Station condominiums proposal. I saw a poorly planned project with major retail and traffic details left unaddressed. Pitched as a hundred-year building, the all-glass structure would have looked out of place in the near term and faded and run down 30 years from today. Little mention was made of mixed use other than some occasionally open party bar (as if Madison doesn’t already have enough of those) and possible second-floor office space.
