Yeah I agree. Gilbert is hyper focused on this particular location and also feel like its an all or nothing offer. That's why the MLS guy used particular language on their interest in THIS site.
It's also why its sketchy to me.
I wonder where Mayor Duggan fits into all of this and his brother's team the MI Bucks. Duggan is likely caught between MLS prospects of Gilbert/Gore and city gains with maybe his brother's interest in climbing the soccer ladder and growth in the U.S. He also must sympathize with Evans and a shotty budget to deal with.
Also - [[not to get too soap opera focused) how about Little Ceaser's arena announcement right after Gilbert MLS? You think Ilitch is getting irked at growing Gilbertville and rushed the announcement? Or vice versa and Gilbert pushed it ahead?
Lastly, you guys buy this do we want a jail welcoming people to downtown thing? As if we should be scared of a jail? I laugh at this fear mongering stuff. Keeping people confined is not rocket science. Playing off people's irrational fears is the worst kind of leadership.
