1968 - The Norfolk City Council authorizes a study of the feasibility of building a stadium to replace Foreman Field in the mid-1970s. The city leases the 26,000-seat stadium from Old Dominion College on a 25-year lease that expires in 1974. Most expect the lease not to be renewed, and Foreman Field likely to be torn down for ODC campus expansion. Last month, Norfolk Mayor Roy B. Martin Jr. disclosed that the city had selected a tentative stadium site between Military Highway and Interstate 64 north of Northampton Boulevard.

More or less where Met Park was built it sounds like. Honestly, this idea probably turned into Met Park.
