Who are the TAF "Board Members" who have the say?

I know TAF has tremendous influence in this and was curious as to who the power brokers are at TAF?

Can't imagine Halliburton cares, unless they stand to lose financially, in which case they'd probably just withdraw their sponsorship since the only thing they'd lose is wasting sponsorship dollars on a product people are less inclined to watch.
The other three matter. I'm sure there are others.

I think a good way to answer this question is who are the people who own suites in Tiger Stadium. Apart from the suites that may be owned by national companies like Exxon, Dow and Halliburton, those are the people that pump in money and will want a vote.
Of course there's not going to be a list anywhere but I'm sure there are TDers who can rattle off names. Also, I tried going to the TAF website to see if they list their board members but (haha) the site is down.

The Houston alumni will weigh in heavily. Astros owner will be consulted closely IMO.
Suite owners are deep pocketed but many aren't rolling like that. Average SEZ suite costs $140K-150/year with 10 year commitment. The tax advantages make them appealing to a lot of business owners statewide and alumni outside Louisiana as well.
But someone who can afford $150K/year isn't necessarily gonna be in the room when a dude who could have-but decided not to-stroke a check to become the majority owner of a MLB franchise.
JMO anyway.
