I read Bob's letter....I don't get how anyone posts that link and says "It's over."

Nothing is over. This is either an idle threat or a very serious one...that is for council to decide when they cast their vote for the EM or WH.

Bob has nowhere to move to....so folding would be the option. At which point any buyer (Katz?) could scoop up the team and keep it where it is before it folds.

I think Bob has gone from saviour to big time jerk in a matter of a little of a month. He STILL didn't say he would move the team....very dodgey threats and being a child by withdrawing any participation in the process at all.

Like he sees he might not get everyone agreeing with him so he is taking his ball and going home...pouting the whole way.

Aside from "highway visibility"...(which is what you get a billboard for, not stadium naming rights) and a POTENTIAL traffic problem....what is his basis for not being able to operate his business in a brand new stadium next door to downtown??

I don't think anyone has a problem walking from a parking spot to get to the stadium, we all do it now. I also don't think anybody is going to give you way more for stadium naming rights because you're near a highway. These aren't billboards...they get mentioned on the radio and television broadcasts....for free. THAT is the reason you buy naming rights to a stadium...not because you drive by the building. Look at naming rights around the 4 major leagues....some of the biggest are on stadiums that have zero highway visibility.

I gotta think this is just idle and subtle threats....but again...I really don't care. Just build the darn thing.
