• Bears' new den: Robertsdale secures land for stadium, updated facilities (gulfcoastmedia.com) — Robertsdale has finalized a land donation with the Baldwin County school board to build a long-awaited on-campus stadium and upgraded athletic facilities behind Robertsdale High School, with construction targeted to start next spring and finish by August 2029. The $13.5 million project will add a turf football and soccer field, track, expanded seating, and renovated fieldhouse, reducing travel hassles for students and opening the door to more local and state-level events in town.
   

• Why Robertsdale's Arena Already Fits Foley's Needs (gulfshoresnews.com) — Foley leaders are weighing whether to sell their underused horse arena, arguing that a modern, covered facility in Robertsdale just over 10 miles away already meets most regional equestrian and event needs. The piece frames Robertsdale’s arena as the stronger, better-located venue, suggesting Foley could redirect maintenance dollars into broader community projects while relying more on Robertsdale’s capacity and parking for major gatherings.
