I mean in the context of paying for a brand new venue, not just upgrading one. The Packers were able to raise the funds to upgrade Lambeau by selling additional shares. Those shares don’t actually give voting power to the owner, but it worked.
I mean same dollar amount though. The garden is old as shit. Those upgrades cost as much as the cowboys stadium.
I marvel at greenbays “stock” situation. I had a coworker who had shares but if I remember correctly she had no power to actually sell them or some weird shit. People just buy them just because.
MSG is weird though because some of the stadium I guess can be considered public works with Penn station and what not. Iirc the garden hasn’t paid taxes in a few decades.
I’m with you though fuck the most of these billionaires.
On the basketball front though. I was wrong about kyrie. I laughed at ppl who said he was top 10 but there is no doubt now. Although it’s early he and horford are legit mvp candidates.
Reading through the portis drama in Chicago… every picture of Mirosnitch makes me want to punch him. He has that face you just wanna knock the fuck out. I’m sure other Bulls folks wanted to punch him at one time or another, portis just did it.
Wow. They may have just riled a fire under the Suns fanbase with this. If they’re really putting this much work in trying to block this billboard I won’t be surprised if something more noticeable ends up being made.
Yeah, this is some totalitarian nonsense going on right here. Remember when the city of Charlotte wanted Shinn’s blood when he was accused of kidnapping and raping a woman, and the pressure forced him to move the team to NO? I don’t think it’ll get to that point but this could be even more of a PR nightmare than the last few days have been especially with ESPN putting the entire organization on blast in ways that I have never seen them do from any other team in any sport short of them doing something ridiculous like covering up a criminal charge.
There are other garbage teams like the Kings, but at least the FO clearly cares about the fans and the city. This just makes it look like that Sarver only gives a shit about himself.
