Now we find, just as we had thought, there is NO GOD DAMN PLAN . Natta, zip, none, zero, the best they can do is to pay the big "O" 30,000 to tell us that a grass parking lot on the south west corner is the best use of the land. And that Studer screwed the system with a one sided deal, but dont say anything or he might cry. He is only doing what is best for Pensacola.

Are we as a community really screwed? I don't know. I hope not. I keep waiting for Studer to pull the rabbit out of the hat and show me how stupid I have been. I hope he does. My ego can take it. But unless something happens pretty soon we will see that the Emperor doent have any clothes. Not a pretty sight.

We are screwed.
There is NO rabbit to pull out of a hat.
There is NO hat.

Today in the PNJ it was stated that Quint Studer wants to be on the the panel to name the Park.
I still like Stooderville" but its gotten to be such a ridiculous failure that it should be "Stoopidvile".

Seriously, why not name it "The Ballpark at Pensacola"

earth to citizens......a dollar surcharge on a ticket puts 75k in reserve each year, and when the bond are due, a two buck surcharge.....a tempest in a teapot.....nobody will even notice the charge, and this is just more beating up the park.....the contract was clear that the surcharge can be added at anytime........this park is a glowing success, and I argued three years ago that the ticket surcharges were being done at every minor league team.

Yeah surcharges..great idea ..probably how they will force obamacare to work...
