OK, baseball freaks, here's what will make this work for me.

.
1.  Not one dime of taxpayer money.

2.  Not one foot of taxpayer-owned land that isn't purchased by the team.

It's simple, really.  If the owners of the team "bear" all of the costs, then I don't give a damn if they build it on Mars.

But don't charge me for something we don't need that serves no public purpose when, for example, we can't even get the Padden Parkway jungle cut down.

There are many more... DOZENS more needs that remain unaddressed by Vancouver and the commissioners.  THAT is where the focus should be.
