The battle for Arlington Airport begins?

I live in Phoenix and this would be news to me. I don't know of any
large sports venue in AZ that even operates 200 days a year.
Currently, the TFRs over sporting events exclude aircraft taking off
and landing at nearby airports under ATC control.

That comment is heresay and word of of mouth, so I won't attempt to support
it and would point out I mentioned the context in which it was presented.
However, even if it's only a few weeks or months out of the year, do you
think we should consider that an acceptable compromise? It is a
non-towered airport focused almost entirely on GA operations, there is
nobody who flies here that would benefit from ATC exemptions. I would also
mention that ISC affiliated individuals, NASCAR officials, drivers, their
families and associates are given automatic TFR exemptions and thus have no
vested interest in preserving our rights to the airfield.

The TSA, DoD, and Homeland Security operate in a world without
limitations. Under the auspices of national security, they can do pretty
much whatever they want. Why should we not fight a facility that gives
them an excuse to further restrict airspace and our airport operations in
the future? Sighting a major sporting venue within 2 miles of a major
uncontrolled airport is really just adding insult to injury to anybody who
relies on it for their livelihood and as a center for experimental,
non-electrical system, and unpowered aircraft.

The alliance forming to protect the field is not opposed to the track or
NASCAR moving into the county, they just need to spend a little more money
and put it another mile or 2 away from the airport. I'm afraid, however,
that our local officials will not be representing our interests.
