I love how it's easy to revise history the further removed we get.

A few facts being 'lost' in the discussion off the top of my head:

  • Cats were on board with WH, hugging and shaking hands at city council in Feb
  • Young: we'll make any site work
  • city evaluated several sites before finalizing WH as the best option
  • Conf Park removed upon learning that 100 acres of it's 230 acres would be paved over with big box complex as the ONLY means of it being a viable site for the Cats.
  • Cats hire Eric Cunningham
  • DiIanni hires Eric Cunningham
  • Cats propose EM
  • Cats walk away from EM
  • Almost all of council ratifies WH in the midst of BY's tantrum
  • Developers start lining up for WH
  • Katz/AEG love WH
  • Bratina calls EM big box plan "crap" (presumably he thinks the identical plan at Conf Park is also "crap")
  • no private money for ANY alternative site
  • no developers lining up for any alternative site.

Anyone else care to add anything? ....some of our commenters seems to need a quick refresher.
