I think the problem is they are going about this the wrong way. This really needs to be a 10 year plan that includes stadium upgrades and a sun shade, lease extension, and more. Originally they may have tried to include other stuff but I thought for some reason they split it out from the other things. If the city is spending this money, they need to know it will be used and will meet the architectural designs and not end up looking like what they did the last time with the bait and switch. They also need to be assured it will not fail because the team leaves or it terrible and no one wants to go there.
