Be very wary of AEG. This company often achieves quick profit at the expense of good long term planning. Their traditional commodus operandi is to quick sell portions of railroad yards they have owned to politically connected partners, then get city financing to cover the spread to develope a statium/arena.

I've seen this in Denver, where the A of Anchutz bought a railroad on borrowed money (using some of his billions as collateral) then pushed a quick development of a basketball-hokey amphitheater using real estate partners to build developments which precluded good future public transporation.

I have about something similiar, too, in Sack of Tomatoes.
