I understand Robinson's importance to baseball (and America), but he needed to be replaced. Manny Acta is a much better fit for this team than Frank Robinson was, Reuben.

Besides, who exactly is going to provide security otherwise? How is this any different from every other city that has police provide security at sporting events?

If the sales tax money is going to pay for extra police service and other costs the stadium generates, then the money will never make it to the services that need it.

The carts throughout the stadium will also offer Ben's items. Maybe it won't be open in time for Sunday, but it is planned to be there.

Everything else is too damn complicated to address in any type of meaningful manner.

Apparently, this part of the agreement wasn't made public until a day or so ago.. I have nothing against the team (though I havent been back since Frank Robinson was-ah-not asked back)-but I see this stadium thing as something else DC provides for our "friends" from the suburbs....
