Tell them no deal. If they let you keep 51%, then no problem. But it's too late to change that now.

I went to Suntrust Park (Braves) during their inaugural season 2 years ago.  Built around the stadium are Condos, Hotels, Clubs, Bars, Restaurants, retail shopping, and a theater. All of which were built around the same time of the stadium. It was by far the best atmosphere around a stadium I have attended. We were able to grab beers and walk through the shopping area on the way to the stadium. I quickly realized that the draw to the area was not the stadium. A lot of people were there for the shopping and entertainment. After the game, we went to a sports bar that was still packed. If I lived in the ATL area, I would for sure hang out there without going to a game.

The parking was $30. But anything you purchased outside the stadium was used toward that $30. We easily purchased enough so the parking was free.

put me down as a maybe 

0. But when I went, I had no idea how large the shopping area was. It's a couple blocks that is designed for pedestrian only. So the place was very clean, safe and spacious. When I was in line to get into the sports bar, the guy in front of me was in the middle of his cigarette. The line moved pretty quick so just before he was going to show the bouncer his ID, he flung his half lit cigarette in the middle of the walkway. The bouncer called him out to go chase down his cig and dispose of it properly.

They have done exactly what Eppler said they were doing. 
They made as many small short term improvements as they could to give themselves a chance at the playoffs this year, while sacrificing none of the farm system and taking on no large financial commitments. 
They have a chance at 90 wins this year, and next year the farm system will be even better. Remember, an improving farm system helps you in 3 ways: the players play for you, they save you money to spend on established players, they give you capital to spend to trade for other players. A good farm system is the only way to have an extended window of success, so they’ve been operating around that. It’s like having half the store open while you’re doing renovations, as opposed to closing the whole place (tanking).
Next year’s FA’s include OC natives Gerrit Cole and Nolan Arenado. 
 

Yikes! Sounds like you rubbed too hard.

Put yourself in Blarg’s shoes and try reading that on a Jitterbug with Costco bifocals. 

Rub one out was maybe 5-7 days. Girl on top was about 10 days. But ball slapping bangin took me about 2 weeks.

Very disappointing. I wanted to see the McGuyver trick the guy was going to do with the whip cream and spoon.
