Mark writes, in response to my statement that the private market has the wherewithal to build a stadium if they wanted to:
"I'm trying to advocate the voice of the fan. If there were a way to build the ballpark fully from private funds in this market, I have to believe it would have been done by now." Maybe it's good for a diehard cynic like me (at least on the stadium battle) to hear something positive like this. I just look at the immense wealth we see in this world and have to ask how Pohlad can honestly argue he (or others in his circle) can't finance this. Again, Pohlad is a billionaire who recently sold a bank for $250 million plus. There alone he could nearly build a stadium and not touch his other $1B. Why did the world have to get this complicated? It's just supposed to be a game. Sigh...
