BADMUSIC… exactly you hit the nail right on the head and no I’m not talking about Nine Inch Nails. This was their agenda all along maybe some people have forgotten about an article written how they were going to try to get the concerts back at Ann Morrison not long back. They considered an outside developer, who by the way suggested to demolish the fountain.

Doggone is correct. The Kmart site on Shoreline was dropped because the wealthy folks overlooking the venue told the Mayor no way, no noise from crappy rock bands in their upscale area. Mayor concerned about his political cash flow agreed.

This scheme is not about some minor scale baseball training team with puny revenues. It’s about back to back rock concerts. All the crappy bands come to Boise and thrash out their crappy sounds. So crappy they really need to be inside only concerts.

Why does Boise need a stadium that will be dark over 60% of days?

The AAA franchise owners will be glad to pay. That is how it is done. These are good tax shelters. Good travel plans. Good relocations for themselves or families. Perhaps sign a star. Good benefits for attending the majors with travel benefits and write offs.

The other good option is that a person who made it to the show would finance a place.

Who will pay for rebuilding Hawks Stadium. The County? No. Garden City? No. The team? No. Anyone?

You have to remember the sw idaho local government oath:

“I pledge allegiance to the developers of southwest Idaho….what ever they want I promise to give…whatever the cost or whomever it screws.”

Is the current stadium for the hawks at or near full capacity?

Ada county isn’t the only county that supports a baseball team. The big question is will they support a soccer team? Would make sense to build a new stadium at the current location and expand the fairgrounds.

Mark Davis is soaking the taxpayers of Nevada for a new stadium in Las Vegas so he can move his precious Raiders there. This on the heels of helping to pay for an NHL expansion team. If unchecked now, the same will happen to Boise.

Too bad our current governments in both Ada and Canyon counties only think of developers instead of the citizens as a whole and their combined game seems to be soak the taxpayers because they are gullible. Enough already.

Boise needs more culture, but we need more science and education platforms not sports complexes.

To those who think this a great idea. Are you being tricked? As wisely pointed out by Erethizon dorsatum and caused me to wonder. Is the trick to build two new facilities. One stadium at BSU and one stadium somewhere else as an unneeded developer enrichment scheme. Is BSU lending its name as political grease to the unneeded one? As it seems BSU is already well into the process of having their own new baseball stadium. If I am wrong, is BSU using the guise of a new sports stadium to confiscate private land for some other use? Perhaps the court should specify use in the eminent domain ruling.

Prediction. Universities want sports performances kept close at hand for several reasons. On field performance is only a small part of being a semi-pro college performer. Other activities involve constant training, massage, physical therapy, ‘medication’ management, psychological health sessions, regular meetings with the intelligent girl hired to do his homework, drinking to excess, and activities with infatuated female students. This is all far less efficient, and in the public view, if the performance arena and support facilities are not on campus.

Why the shift into baseball? Because only meathead parents let their kids clunk heads in football. So football is slowly on the way out. Build it and they will come? https://www.idahostatesman.com/sports/college/mountain-west/boise-state-university/boise-state-football/article199903144.html

How are the finances playing out at the Nampa Center?

How long before CWI issues a bond to fund sports programs?
