Manteca’s hottest spot for shopping and recreation — the Stadium Retail Center and Big League Dreams — was anything but 12 years ago.The land that fronts the 120 Bypass was part of Manteca’s waste water treatment plant and was used to grow corn for silage to feed dairy cattle. There were a handful of small parcels — some with homes — that bordered Airport Way. The area was so far off the beaten track that Manteca Police used part of it for a shooting range.That started changing in 2005 when ground broke for the Big League Dreams sports complex.Today Airport Way and Daniels Street is at the epicenter of retail and restaurant growth.
