Over 70% of a message board comprised entirely of die hard devotees of the team think the team has #### the money bed on this one. If they can't convince us that it's a good idea, I find it difficult to believe the rest of the city is an easier sell.
I don't think they ever really had a chance to win that battle. Outside of exceptional cases, most owners are generally maligned during stadium negotiations - but they still get what they want.
