Jeez Loueez, the ink isn't even dry on this sucker and the no-stadium contingent is already out, fangs bared.
Many on this list said no new stadium until baseball got it's economics in order. Well they just did that. We don't have to worry about the threat of contraction anymore either. I know most on this list don't want to accept it but a majority of the public want a new stadium and are willing to have some (small) amount of public assistance included to do it. Let's just get it done.
