Until the ground settles from all the wokeness in today’s sports institutions forcing people to find other things to do for entertainment, not to mention whatever popup pandemic can be screamed like fire in the theater, I would be very hesitant to trying to develop a stadium project. Any business venture that relies on the gathering of masses to make that project work should be considered very risky seeing just how easy it is to command people on flimsy evidence that we have to shut down whole economies. Now we have the CDC quietly adjusting their numbers to where reality and those who called BS on this thing along time ago, reside. SIX PERCENT of the overall number of 150K+ touted as dying from this flu is the real Covid death claim. Just like any OTHER flu has a co-morbidity affect on a vulnerable person, this “special and novel” flu had been transformed into Michael Crichton’s Andromeda Strain just so political enemies of the President can destroy his seat in the White House. I am far from being alone in this view. Everyone who can count the growing list of failed attempts to thwart Trump can see what this is about. Now we are all supposed to vote on ballots mailed out willy nilly. No chain of custody, and you have ballot harvesters that will take charge of your anonymous ballot for you. This is fraud central. We have already seen huge mail ballot fraud in New Jersey this year.

And I will defend the comment at the top that rightly pointed out that we had all better be on guard for the absolute danger stemming from the Marxist religion that takes its sermons to open air restaurants and runs customers off while they chant their demands and slogans, on top of the burning and looting that NPR likes to make us consider as acceptable. We have wanna be mayors proclaiming that they are “ANTIFA” in Portland. The acquiescence of these criminals by “leaders” and Media is astounding. I saw the roots of this in the Occupy movement and boy has it taken fire….literally.

Just use the BSU ball field when they build it! It will be empty most of the time anyway!

EDITOR NOTE–As we see it, the issue if over development at taxpayer expense rather than baseball and soccer. The GUARDIAN will make an offer to pay ten times the rent currently paid by the Hawks baseball team–that would be $10 a year!!

Dave is correct. The MLB even advised minor league teams to not schedule any large stadium project or long term plans extending beyond the 2021 season.

Nevertheless, the multimillionaire owners will do just about anything to get someone else to finance their white elephant boondoggle.

Remember what Nancy Reagan said, “just say no!”

I thought King Alquist wanted to build this on the fairgrounds site??

All he is doing is slumming for all the cash he can find – just like he did downtown!

Now we find out Clearwater Analytics wants to sell itself after getting in $15 million worth of infringement trouble. And by the way the owners of Clearwater are “buddies” with Tom!

The cabal continues to be alive and well.

Major League Baseball wants to do away with short season rookie ball and low level minors. At this point we do not even know if the Boise Hawks will exist in 2021. No team ends the debate on the stadium

Comments like ‘Real Progressives’ add nothing to the conversation and are not constructive.

Developers keep looking to GBAD for easy money. And while the last election and referendum regarding public spending on $5 million on stadiums do not directly impact GBAD, the public’s tolerance to sweetheart deals is waning. I can not believe it has taken GBAD this long to issue a statement like this.

Boise City should fund a whole bunch of expensive cool projects for BLM to smash and burn once the city is successful at fostering that organization past critical mass. Then we can be a real progressive city like Seattle and Portland.
