Doesn’t look like Gayle is offering much of her own money.

She’s pledging 125M, lol.

With Gayle pledging so much money, it's highly unlikely the city will let a special interest buy the team and move elsewhere.

Someone like a Morris Bart, for example, would be a more likely buyer and keep the team in town.

just heard on WWL the Powerhouse of the Gulf South, Gayle would pledge 150 and Landry 75 funded by the state over 2 years. But that would leave them roughly 200m short on the initial proposal. Then sounds like there is a more expansive plan that would be around 1 billion that would include a some private equity and the new economic development district carved out.

Morris Bart is 74 and not worth $100m.

I was just using him as an example, I wasn't suggesting he was a candidate to buy the team. A local high money figure that could put the funds up if a group invested.

There aren’t many at all that have the capital to buy at least half. It’s Gayle, Bill Golding and Todd Graves.

With the investment in the area, it will be difficult for any future owner to pull the rug. I just want to see someone with a business background that is going to show he wants to win a championship.

Anything better than the Alario Center. Gosh that place was awful. In the middle of nowhere on the Westbank. Shinn was an idiot.
