I think redevelopment would be their first choice as well and I like the idea if they could actually make it bigger, that is one problem, we may need something in the area of 70K seats and that may put bricks next to someones patio.
Another thing I read in this issue is that the city council is opposed to redevelopment for a number of reasons like the possibility of loosing a 1000 potential new jobs from the other projects once a new stadium is built and the proposed shopping plaza is done. I do not live in the city, but I would have to seriously think about the impact that will have on people.
I also agree with you that NESV will make a serious investment right away in players this window. To help them win, win over the fans by keeping their promises and to give Roy every chance to get it together and if he does not, that investment will easily justify letting him go later.
