    I'm not buying it. I actually like baseball and have gone to several games throughout my life, but I'm not buying it. The money isn't there.

    I think if you look at most expansion start ups, the money isn't there a good percentage of the time. Derek Jeter's group hadn't secured matching fund for their try for the Marlins even after they were awarded the winning bid. A lot of these types of operations fly by the seat of their pants. Of course, I am sure the NFL ones probably are the exceptions. The expansion fees are so ridiculous that you've got to the investors just lined up and fighting to get in.

    I don't know that obviously. However, I do know there is not a plethora of billionaires in the Greater Portland Metro area. I believe a project of this scope requires the backing of billionaires.

    Owners invest in sports clubs all over the world now. Look at the Premier League. Foreign ownership is the majority there. Since sports is such an international game now, local ownership isn't such a big deal.

    Dude how many times has the Portland Diamond Project said they have a billionaire investor backing them and will release his name when things are further down the road.

    Keep up
