Des Moines Register: A $19.5 million stadium planned to be built next to Drake University’s Knapp Center, to be shared by Des Moines varsity football and soccer teams and the university, earned a crucial nod from city officials Thursday night. In a special meeting dedicated to the topic, Des Moines City Council approved Drake’s requests to rezone a plot of its campus to make way for the stadium near 2421 Forest Ave. Like the first and second readings, the third and final reading of the rezoning items passed in a 5-2 vote, with Councilman Joe Gatto and Councilwoman Linda Westergaard voting no.
