SA cooling down
Two stories from the SA Express-News worth mentioning today: one deals with Garza's revised (and paired down) MLS proposal, the other with the absurdity of the potential Saints relocation.
According to the first, Garza proposes that the city now spends only $2.74 million on improvements to the Alamodome and scuttles the related youth-development and field construction projects. This is likely to be met with scorn from MLS, and I suspect it will kill the league's interest in SA.
Even Garza appears to see the writing on the wall. "While this new plan is politically acceptable [for San Antonio], it may not be acceptable to the MLS," he said.
The second piece more or less reiterates what I said yesterday: the Saints ain't coming to Texas and the suggestion they might is a calculated political ploy by Hardberger and McCombs.
