Why anyone could think that the Mandalay deal was the BEST deal we could get was beyond me.
So what happens now?
The city has already decided to move forward with the referendum, and that deal can ONLY be decided by the voters at this point.
So is the official verdict to vote NO on Mandalay to allow Council time to investigate THIS deal? Or any others that come along?
IF Ripken gets private funding then Mandalanta is dead in the water (for now)
But if Wilmington is indeed a desirable place to put a team I would venture a guess to say that Mandalanta will (Miraculously) find private funding and then Ripken Mandalay can do what I thought they should be doing all along........fighting to see who can give us the best deal.
O'Grady and Saffo look like fools for being so impatient......
the new deal
