are you certain about your first statement? Are you the Mike of Atanta Braves Baseball who is not returning calls?
Mike: many are still waiting for you to present your pin-point review on every facet of the proposal so all of us, who know something about running a business profitably, will see where we erred.
Mike: when did you ever say "let the pros do their job"?
Let's see, with regards to stadiums. What about Grainger in Kinston? The Indians departed for "greener" pastures at 5 County Stadium. What's going on in Kinston? They could barely average 2,000 paid attendance per game in a town with no beach, movie theatres, or a restaurant better than Ruby Tuesday.
And what would the fate of 5 County have been had the Indians not relocated?
On another note, there had been concern when Ripkin Baseball was initially selected to do the review. Mandalay had to choose their own "pro".
On their website, it's noted they are in Partnership with the Yankees. Nowhere did I see a reference to a partnership with Atlanta.
Should that not be of concern to someone in Atlanta?
