Lovin' CdA
Welcome to LoveCdA.com!
There are many sites about Coeur d'Alene. Many of them have great information about the city, the lake, and the surrounding area. But very few are updated regularly, and even fewer are updated by local people! Our goal is to provide a networking site through which Coeur d'Alene residents can provide useful information to the other members of the local community. LoveCdA will be the repository of all information about the city and the area, useful to local residents and visitors alike.

Bloem Talks Plans for McEuen Field.
Coeur d'Alene's Mayor, Sandi Bloem was interviewed earlier this afternoon regarding recent rumors about the city's plans for McEuen Field. The discussion has been that the city council and the Lake City Development Corporation (LCDC) will develop McEuen Field, adding a parking garage, among other plans.
In her interview today, Bloem reminded citizens that Front Street borders McEuen, and has been always slated for redevelopment in the city's plans for urban renewal. This redevelopment will address any changes to McEuen Field as well as those to Front Street.
The Mayor's full interview follows:
Vandals Marching Band
They call themselves The Sound of Idaho, and they've done a great job of keeping the home crowd going at games. The University of Idaho marching band is the best marching band I've seen in Idaho. Even ESPNU took the time to put together a short package about the band and UI's music program while they were in town for the Vandal football games this pat Fall.
Vandal Lacrosse
University of Idaho Lacrosse
The Vandal Lacrosse team was founded in 2004 and has been a fun program to watch. Their official website is vandalax.com and Krieg Shaw has a blog with behind-the-scenes pictures that he posts to here: LacrosseAllStars.com/tags/idaho-vandals
