They could just make a second Youppi! costume and hire another guy to wear it, y'know.
It seemed they may ask the city, for a big break on taxes.........As long as Bronfman doesn't ask Plante for money the meeting should go okay. I know that the Provincial government has a vested interest in keeping the Big O and its bureaucracy going but the City of Montreal shouldn't care where the team plays as long as they don't have to pay for it.

Has there been any info out there today?
Good job for Therrien...
Some positive vibes.........a long road ahead though...https://montreal.ctvnews.ca/plante-on-return-of-baseball-we-re-in-1.3873994
I'm sure one way or another taxpayers help will be needed.

MLB seems to want 32 teams...it will take time, but it looks at least for now, positive.
I love the last tweet. This is how it's supposed to be done. No taxpayer money should ever be used for privately run organizations. This stadium should be built exactly how the Molson Center was, off investors' money.
I'm also against fully taxpayer funded stadiums for privately owned franchises however not against some form of incentive. Most sectors in Canada get taxpayer subsidies in one form or another.
It won't be a new team creation, it will be a transfer like the Spos to Washington ughhh !
Survey about the potential ownership group that may or may not be BS, but I'm filling it out anyway.
There are people who feel the NFL will slip big time in the next 20-25 yrs because of the concussion issue............there are families that do not want their kids playing football now, which will lead to a downfall of the NFL at some point...Why not put that money for a football stadium instead to attract the NFL? It is way more topical. Kids are playing hockey and soccer. And in school they are playing football. It's not like when we were kids in the 80s where everybody was playing baseball, it was part of our culture.

You make a great point though, there are not alot of kids playing baseball right now...all throughout the country, and it's sad, very sad.
Would love to see MLB return to Montreal...
Not BS. It’s real.
I think the concussion stuff is like anything, sure they lost people in recruitment for years but after things settled in the media, it went back to business as usual. Football is too ingrained in American culture to go away locally and they make too much money, it's attractive to families. And It is like hockey over here, everybody plays it. It's huge. And in Quebec you've seen an incredible push at youth levels of kids playing football. I've heard many instance of families choosing to replace hockey for football cause they liked the culture of respect teached to young men in football.
Sadly baseball is gone and it will never be back in the culture. Which is why business-wise it would make more sense to try lurring the NFL. I'm not against Baseball though and I would be happy if it's back. Just thought it would may be more logical to try football.
