That debt goes down the later the sale occurs but it's still meant for debt.<BR/><BR/>There appears to be a communication problem between the team and the city. If they met regularly for a lengthy period I don't think you'd see what occurred yesterday, when some of the councilmembers felt like they were hashing out the details in a public forum instead of in typical closed discussions as the A's and Fremont are having. <BR/><BR/>As stated previously, the only transit St. Pete has are buses.

For a long time I have heard Oakland Only people say that Schott/Hoffman and now Wolff/Fisher want to move the team out of the area and this is their ploy. I disagree.<BR/><BR/>It really seems to me that if that is what they wanted they would do exactly what the Rays are doing. It was embarrassing listening to some of the q and a... the Rays "well we thought we have given you everything you would need." It just seemed really unkosher.<BR/><BR/>ML, did I mishear or did the math seem really fuzzy around the sell of the Trop? It sounded like they were saying they could sell ti for 70 million and use that towards the new stadium, but also to pay off some outstanding debt? Were they saying they could use the "unpbulic money" I think about 135 million in total, for two different things that would cost more than 135 million?Jeffreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14086938574207856042noreply@blogger.com
