Cry me a river. Then put a privately-funded mixed-use baseball venue on the west bank of it.
The Sounds should feel lucky they have a house at all. We've burned through far too much tax revenue padding the wallets of professional sports teams in this city. In a year when our economy is plummeting, when we're deciding whether to subsidize other teams with what little cushion Nashville has, and when even fantasy baseball is working in the red, it's laughable that the Tennessean would print a front-page report that casts Glenn Yaeger as some kind of modern matchstick girl.
If the Sounds (and by Sounds I mean Predators) want a fancy new house, and if the service they offer is a sound investment, it will be equally sound for private financers as for public ones. Families losing their homes because of predatory lenders? That, I'll put my dollars to avoid. Predators losing their homes because families want to do something else with their money? Not so much.
