Agreed.  But the old man has been the main driver behind that ongoing litigation.  Settlements can happen quickly.  The Angelos sons may be willing to settle.  

If they take a bad deal, they risk not having an attractive product to sell. I don't think they are going to rush through a settlement at the detriment of a prospective sale of the team.

Move out of OPACY?

You think MLB would approve someone with the desire to move the team? 

When it involves money, yes.

I know some of these NFL stadiums have ballooned to over a billion. Not sure if a ballpark would cost that much.

By the time it is said and done Miami taxpayers will be paying over a billion for the Marlins new stadium.

The New Rays stadium is estimated at 892 Million and it only seats 30,482.

Steve Bisciotti is worth $4.4B and he is allowed to own a team in the same market.  If Ripken is in the group, he'll be Jeter, small investment, easy approval by the other owners.

Of which about 11k will be utilized.

Sure.

Just saying if a city wants a team it best be willing to drop a B.

I wonder what genius came up with the idea for about 31k in possible attendance? Beyond stupid.

If they built it with 22K seats some of the Yankee and Red Sox fans couldn't go to games.

There is something to be said for smaller stadiums with less capacity.  Drives up prices/demand for the tickets.  

Most empty seats in a baseball stadiums are the cheap ones anyway.

He did get funds from the city  for his Port Covington project.Sagamore Properties now has a whiskey and hotel,etc.Under Armour is doing a little better but has allocated  funds to Port Covington One thing I did find interesting in Phase 4 (future and long term projects) for Port Covington lists an arena and retractable dome stadium to be built on the site I think it is a long way off or a pipe dream 

Tried the Sagamore Spirit Rye Whiskey, didn't think it was all that great.

I'm fine with the seating, I just don't understand how that small a park comes in at around 900M.

Not sure where they expect to get that funding.

What’s wrong with 31K? You know they have trouble drawing down there. Longoria has suggested that they might consider moving.
