That's a hell of a statement. You mean the warehouse district and nearby
downtown properties are valueless due to Target Center? All the new
restaurants and clubs surrounding Excel jumped into business to sicken society? The
Metro Dome neighborhood is going to go up in hellfire after tomorrow's Vikings
game? Please elucidate.
On this theme, I really wonder how many of the posters on this issue are
even marginal sports fans. Please correct me if I'm wrong but my estimate
would be in the range of nil and none. There seems to be an anti-sports sub theme
going here.
Personally, if any manner of user tax plus owner payment could be worked
out, I'd love to go to Twins games in an outdoor park downtown. I'd at least
double my current attendance (I'd go to twenty or thirty games a year). I know
lots of fans that would do the same.
