Putting aside all the sniping...

Are you sure about that? It took a lot to convince council to cover this season's losses, and with things dragging out the way they are, I would say that it will become even more difficult to get council to go back to that well a second time.

That, I think, is Winnipeg's best chance. It is already known that the American governors aren't interested in Winnipeg, but if the alternative is that they are looking at their own money being lost because Glendale won't cover, they'll probably choose the lesser evil of having someone else risk their money, even if it is in an undesirable market.
