For all the part time accountants out there performing exhaustive analysis on ticket revenue sharing, let me be first to invite you to take an opportunity to read the complete NSS report. I have and I find it very professional and through. The eleven sections of the report draw one conclusion. Baseball and Wilmington are a good mix! The MSA is sufficient to support an excellent fan base and an excellent return on investment. The potential for additional development around the project is high. The potential to bring the county back into the mix a very real option. The capitol out lay is very reasonable and affordable under several finance options. The food and bar service tax is interesting as is the the revenue bond approach. Each brings in both city residents and those from outside. So many people have requested a vote on the issue and that appears to be the current approach which should calm some nerves.
Those who have posted comments about how NSS fabricated the content of the report are sad soles with no understanding of the process and the reputation that accompanies the process. You would be better off to keep your intellect in hiding and just vote no.
