I don't care one way or the other where the team plays or even if it plays, but seeing this kind of outside interfence happen to a publicly elected board is really bothersome.
But that's the other side of the arguement the publicly elected officials are pledging public money to fund a privately owned franchise for someone else. Oh and they're buying parking rights they already own. I'm over simplifying this probably but that's the gist I get from it
