[QUOTE="Hauschild, post: 253378, member: 1638"] I wonder if Wilf hails from Minnesota? If so, I would take him at his word, because most guys that grow up in the Midwest have serious ties that bind. If he's merely your typical money-grubber from New York, then he probably really has little affinity for the folks of Minnesota, so taking him at his word would be naive and foolish. However, it really should come down to basic math. Somebody has to outline the cost to the city and state versus the return on investment for the city and state. Rarely, does one ever find these for stadium funding, or they certainly aren't covered by the drive-by media. It ain't rocket science. And, add to the fact that as soon as cities let teams "go", within 10 years they're clamoring like fools to get another team back into the mix. Take Green Bay now - it's an ok city, but certainly not overly nice and has an increasing number of "suspect" characters inhabiting the city (at least from what I have discovered from attending games annually over the last 20 years). Imagine if the the Packers went under? Hotels? Taverns? Restaurants? Real estate? It would all tank and Green Bay would be the next Racine. So, sometimes spending some money isn't a bad idea in the long run. [/QUOTE]
