Is that a record for a new stadium?

Between this one and the Cost of FedEx, that's got to be some sort of record I would think.

I did when I posted the article...that is why BILLION is written in caps.

I sue hope the team is worth all this hoopla and the 81 traffic jams it will bring.

Once they start playing at the new site, there will be limited parking so most will use metro, like at MCI, so I don't think traffic will be any worse than usual.

What I love also, is being able to go the game any month, that includes weekdays!!!! That means when I visit in D. C. its,,,,"take me out to the ballgame!"

Catch22 - I also get to possibly see them practice, especially if its in Florida!

Yes!

I hope you guys really love baseball down there 'cause this type of public funding benefits nobody but the team owners. All that "new spending" coming to the area is just entertainment dollars folks spent on doing something else in the area. Net gain: zero.
