Is this the big announcement?

 

20-25K, says Goff. Mayor's on board, but it's still got to get past the council.

Heh.

 

Go vote in the WaPo poll and post arguments for the stadium before the NIMBY's take over.

Also: remember Not until shovel hits dirts

 

That worries me a little.

 

And a low-res rendering that shows just about nothing...

 

A broken clock and all that

 

What is this, a stadium for ants?

 

Which supporters group gets moved to the upper deck?

And why is there a tarp on the far side? We're selling this baby out!!!1

 

its so pretty!!!

This happened faster than I had heard it would.

 

Believe nothing until they're building.

And even then, doubt a little.

 

Yep. But we should definitely plan a similar staging that San Jose did, where hundreds/thousands of fans went to the city hall meeting that was open to the public and held up scarves quietly in support.

 

Poplar Point had even prettier pictures. That didn't happen.

Shovels in dirt yet? No? I'll keep waiting.

 

so... who is going to buzzard point tomorrow to show support?

 

I'll skip work what time?

 

I won't believe a thing until I'm standing inside with a $10 beer.

 

I ain't seen no shovel shovellin' no dirt!

 

You mean the overused " shovel ready"?

 

$10? Is that what they're going to sell them for outside the stadium? It will likely be more inside.
