It's unclear how long Wilson will take before choosing a location. ``I do fully understand about the fears of the community on the issues,'' Ponciano said. ``If you took a picture of that whole room (the night of the meeting), they would all say, `Hey, we don't mind if there's just football there.' Do you think I want a bunch of things going on at the football field? I agree with them on that. I don't want a bunch of stuff going on.''
