If the new MLS team has to pay rent it must negotiate that rent with the newly corrected stadium authority, correct?

My guess is that they could get a fairly favorable rental agreement once the news dies down a little bit.

That is EXACTLY correct SR. That's exactly why it was written into the language in the manner it was. There is an out in there that makes sure that they at least pay the cost of having the team play there so if they do negotiate a good deal it will be exactly as the language was previously.

Oh, and for all those that keep talking about Zygi, he is rarely around here. Mark Wilf is the guy who works in MN with the team. He's the guy you want to reach out to. I still think from the verbiage of the MLS clause in the bill, that it may be someone besides the Wilfs who want to run the team. But as of now that is purely speculation, nothing I know.

OMG, the clapper-whacker guy is everywhere.

Hahaha I love it.

Anyone watch the press conference? Apparently Zygi said he really wants MLS in Minnesota.

Can you give a summary of the MLS part of Zygi's press conference?

I hope he makes it to a Stars match. I will give him one of my flex tickets.

I'm sure he'd prefer to sit in one of the luxury boxes. Oh-wait a minute...

I didn't listen to it. Saw it mentioned on the KFAN messageboard.

I read on wiki that Zigi was born in Germany (good country of origin to like soccer), went to law school (an honorable calling) and is worth $1.3 billion (enough to meet the NASL net worth benchmark). This guy should really buy the Stars and hang with us on the eastside. I bet he likes skoking heaters which is pretty cool too.
