John Thanks for your comments. I appreciate them. I take issue only with your saying I will never support a stadium. I could stomach this whole thing if the financial issues were reversed. Let us take payers fill in a gap to the tune of $125 million and let the team and its wealthy owner foot the lions share of this stadium. I am very opposed to the tax payers funding such a large portion of this stadium.
A stadium is an investment that should be made by the entity needing it, or perhaps the patrons of the team, not the general public. Can someone show me how this is not just corporate welfare? The Twins are ultimately a business. They need a place to play, thus they should build it. Ron Leurquin Nokomis East John wrote: It isn't as if the increased revenue is going into Carl's mattress. The increased revenue is needed to keep the team competetive for years to come. The only money "cry baby Carl" will get is the increase in the value of the team when he sells. maybe I am wrong and Carl will bury the naming rights in he back yard. > As I have said before, I will be all for this tax payer funded stadium after > we > get homelessness and joblessness eliminated as problems.
