Earl, I'm not sure if you're shilling for BY or if you're just not sure what happened.

The 'Cats first said "We'll play anywhere". Then they said right at the last minute "We won't play at WH" which caught everyone by surprise. Since HostCo has said they want a legacy tenant after the games, that gives the 'Cats far too much leverage, which BY is using ruthlessly.

BY is apparently willing to invest $10M over 10 years, but is also demanding the naming rights to our stadium as well!

He's also willing to invest $15M AROUND the stadium to build Bob's World as a revenue generation tool. Again, I don't have a problem with him doing that if it's all his money and it's his stadium. Since it's public money at stake then it should benefit more than just BY. WH will benefit downtown by being nearby. For BY and his experts to say it won't is disingenuous due to his Bob's World investment.

If he doesn't like the income or losses from a sports team, then he shouldn't have the damned team in the first place.
