I guess I'm a pessimist since the same prognostications that are being made for a new stadium were made for the old one.
I guess I just dont get baseball. I can go to a Stars game for free at any time and have been to a total of 2.
Can we build an aquarium for $30million? Can we just lease the land to the team and let them build their own stadium, without public money?

A quick Google says the Memphis park seats 14,000 and cost $80million in 2005. The Memphis Park is run as a non-profit charity, as is the team, the only team to do that at the time.

I do know the folks that run the Coke plant, and the topic of giving up that land has come up before. It would a large stack of cash to get them off that piece of property. And, FWIW, they dont watch baseball either.
