stadium and USL teams, along with basic demographics such as gender, annual household income and age. “As a way to measure community support, CSL has developed a short survey that is being distributed mar- ket-wide, and a meaningful part of the survey process includes assess- ing business community support for the proposed stadium and teams,” the announcement states. The survey takes about 10 minutes to complete and will close Feb. 28, said Andra Bennett, Fort Worth mar- keting communications coordinator.
