So We May Pay More to Keep PREDS???

Thanks to Kleinheider For Posting this Video!

The Investor Group wants us to ante up $15,000,000-$18,000,000 ($3,000,000 -$5,000,000 more of our tax dollars) for them to buy out the preds contract and keep them in Nashville.


While Karl and Bob both take a line of "the Public needs to be involved. The public needs to be fully informed and aware of whats going on as this process goes forward." and "they(the local investors) Really need to open it up, they've got everyone on their side now. I'm for full disclosure{...} first of all they need to share the information, and a lot of the information is being sealed." respectively...

What I would like to know is will our Next Mayor sell us out to a local investor group? Our Schools have issues, our Police Department has morale issues; and these investors want us to throw 3 to 5 million of our tax dollars into a sports venture? I know how much the predators help downtown businesses, but with a proper business plan a sports team is not necessary for a business to succeed in the Downtown District of a Metropolitan city.

Secondly, Why do we want to spend our tax dollars on a sports team that our citizens don't want to see? If the Predators had high enough ticket sales a move would be impossible; yet these sales goals CANNOT be reached. If Nashville Doesn't want the team here, then its time to let the move occur and put these tax dollars back to good use.

and heres an idea... How about if your a fan... Save up the $731 and buy a season pass? it only takes 5,000 to keep the team...

just a thought from a very dark room.
