We are not writing a check to a billionaire, you know it’s not that simple. This agreement and business between MiLB and the city is mutually beneficial, they would not engage in it if it were not. Keeping up our end of the bargain is the least shitty thing we could go in order to keep reaping the benefits of this agreement. You keep reducing the whole thing to some slogan about “fuck the rich” which is ignoring the ground rules (pun sorry) that were set out when the franchise came to Richmond

The City has known about these deficiencies in the facility for years. Why would they not stagger the renovations over those years in order to stay on compliance with the league, and reduce the upfront costs? Diamond District redevelopment was clearly going to take a long time, why not keep the league happy in the mean time
