I can't stress enough how bad of an idea the Pawtucket Stadium project is.

As long as there's no public funding, why do you care? The PawSox had lotscof years when they lost money, and had a bankruptcy. Plenty of rich people are willing to lose money to own and build a team. Look at Ryan Reynolds with Wrexham - who are still losing money. If you want that Premier League money, you've got to spend to be promoted.

Ipswich Town is second, down a point, and will be promoted. They were 9th last year.

I'm confused. Didn't the state already put $70 million in this?

No state funding goes to the project until they have a certificate of occupancy.

So, there is state funding (at least $70 million) if this project goes through. Then why did you say "As long as there's no public funding, why do you care?" ?
