El Paso was suppose to get the river walk, Sea World, and Six Flags. But city government denied everything, so San Antonio got everything. Investors do want to come to El Paso. Nothing is done here because El Paso government, is ran by a bunch of Ncaanowins.
Fili seems like the sort who will keep spouting urban legends even if he knows they are false. He enjoys the chaos.
I have 1st hand knowledge that the hunt group has stayed in close contact with MLS since attempting a bid some years back. Now the MLS may be just blowing smoke up their you know what's, but they like the ownership group alot and what they've done with the Locomotive. You don't know everything man and you sure as Hell don't have any inside info with anybody reputable in the city of EP. I know more going on then you and I don't even live there anymore! I put 15%, because I don't believe it'll ever happen. However some within the Hunt group do. So call them all fools too.
I do know about MLS and their business. The “El Paso MLS bid” was nothing but a farce. It was there to sell tickets to a FC Juarez exhibition match and to say “We tried, but we have the next best thing!”
That's why I put 15%. They still talk about it as if it has a chances which I why I listed it, but I also don't think it'll happen.
I actually put 15% which means I'm 85% sure it won't happen despite some within the Hunt Group having hope it might one day.
It should be 0% and 100% though.
There's probably more than a dozen cities ahead of EP. Does MLS really want to be a 40+ team league?
I wouldn’t think so. However, the MLS media rights are rumored to be less than they projected, so they may “over expand” to collect more expansion fees. So hard to say, except that El Paso won’t be one of them.
I don't think that is accurate if I had to handicap it, but I see your point as you're saying it will never happen. El Paso is a Minor League City I agree. However the only sport in the Majors that EP would ever have a shot at is MLS be it through expansion or team relocation. I don't put it at 0 over the next 10 year's, but it's very low yes. WNBA is interesting, because the Sun City came out in droves to support UTEP Women's Basketball on their NIT run. I don't think though that the fans would get very excited or support a struggling expansion WNBA team. Also I think the 180 million for the arena should be repurposed to remodel and expand the civic center/ACC to allow for event seating up to 10,000
What a dumb idea! Did you put any thought into this? It would be much better to use the burned out, knocked down, non existent buildings at the Magic Landing site and put another amusement park there.
Nope. Not happening.
So I'm wondering if you are just trying to be funny. The buildings were all torn down in 2009 after several incidents of arson and vandalism. The property itself has been a truck lot for over 12 years
The human species go extinct.
It's not nearly as far fetched or nonsensical as bringing back Magic Landing. Don't compare the 2, or him and I. You've started to do a little better, with actual researched information and valid points, don't fall back into troll status bruh. It was well documented that The Hunt Group tried to get an MLS team and still hold out hopes of it in the future. Where as re opening Magic Landing is pure non sense with no basis. I'm not sure if you understand math or percentages, but I clearly stated I'm 85% sure it'll never happen! It is not however based on an outlandish or unwarranted basis as it's been talked about with people who have alot more money than you or I. That's all I say about this, moving on!
I went the year Tommy James and the Shondells played. Probably '88? Unfortunately a stunt pilot who was performing died at the event when he crashed into the lake and drowned. Still, Tommy was great.
A tip of the hat to the “oldie but a goodie” Joe or Jane “Citizen” boiler plate comment.
