Angels opt out of stadium lease in Anaheim

[Dick Enberg]

The team is not going anywhere. Arte just wants better lease terms. that is all, you can lock this thread now.

My opinion is as worthless as anybody else's is, but I can't see them leaving So Cal.

Agreed...  they would be morons to leave...

Exactly.  There is no way Arte is getting anywhere close to the FSW deal he receives now if he moves to Portland.  And, I would think the A’s, Marlins, or Rays would jump at the chance to move into the stadium and get 3M fans AND the FSW deal.  

I don’t see any other LA city making the move for the Angels as well.  All the cities have pension funding issues, and there is no one who could produce a legitimate report that states the economic benefits would outweigh the costs of city financing of a stadium.  True “moneyball”. 

I love the Angels, but I don’t believe cities should finance investments for billionaire owners.

I dont think Arte Moreno believes cities should finance investments for billionaire owners.

He's trying to get the best deal he can. The city is doing the same.

The "piss off" rhetoric is poppycock.

Pure poppycock.
