For those of you that have not heard the Tribe has made it's intentions
known , that it wants to move back to Arizona in 2009, to Goodyear.
However, the funding for the project has hit a snag, but the deal at the beginning was supposed to have two teams for the complex- not just one.
At first it was rumored that perhaps the Birds of Baltimore might move,
and then it was Dodgers... who are planning a move, but now it is too
Glendale, along with the White Sox, who are looking to move out
of Tucson' Electric Park.
The sticking point is that it will cost around $55 million to build a complex for one team, and 77.5 millon for 2 teams. The state has agreed to fund 66.7%
of a new ballpark as opposed to just 50% for 1 team. In my thinking this comes to a difference of only 2 million, but the Indians may be reluctant
to come up with the difference. We'll see.
