Good. Its about time somebody told the MLB and the owners to get lost. You want a brand new stadium? Help build it.
Heck...they ought to build them themselves. The San Francisco Giants did just that.
The era of government-funded stadiums should have long ago ended.

The first privately financed ballpark in Major League Baseball since Dodger Stadium (1962), the Giants' new home features an inspiring nine-foot statue of America's greatest living ballplayer, Willie Mays, at the public entrance; Portuguese water dogs who fetch home runs that splash into McCovey Cove (named after another Hall of Fame Willie); an 80-foot Coca-Cola bottle with playground slides and miniature SBC Park behind left field that has become a magnet for kids of all of ages; and mass public transit that rivals any sports complex in the world.
That's not going to happen. Some other stupid city is going to shaft it's taxpayers for a sports team. It'll probably be Austin.
