I would have thought the thread would have been titled "Let's do the time warp again....."
That said, it appears to be the same old same old. Certain people think the deal looks like a coyote, howls like a coyote and is a coyote, others think is looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and is a duck.
I have a lot of empathy for what the yotes fans are going though but trust me on this, the public paying for this stuff via special taxing districts, etc. is complete BS. We are still paying for it here in Chicago for Comiskey park. They don't lower the taxes when revenues go up, just increase them when revenue is down. And here, Comsikey is only used for the Sox, nothing else, because JR is selfish.
If MH is being guaranteed money for running the arena, what incentive is there for him to actually try to make the arena profitable or at least minimize losses? None.
And if parking was truly worth $100 million, this is going to have many ramifications on the alleged damages to try to get from Moyes. He will just point and say CoG bought the rights for $100 mil and all the other taxes and revenues associated with it. And if it was truly worth that much, I do not see MH giving away such a huge upside for a measly $100 mil. He should just securitize it himself. It would be lower cost and not have any type of cloud hanging over it. And now he is guaranteeing $75 mil of it, heck just securitize it for $25 mil and dump your $75 mil into the kitty.
But, alas, none of this will happen, the two sides on this board will keep arguing their same points over and over and over and over without either side recognizing any points from the other side as being valid. Basically, this is a microcosm of what is happening between CoG, NHL, MH, and GI.
Wake me up when something actually happens.
