Posing? I'm not the one posting pics as if I am actually involved in the project.
When you actually advise ins utional investors and vet those who want their money, as I do, then perhaps I will think you are something other than a kid with a modem and a hardon for cool buildings.
Late.
Hey, I wish you guys all the best of luck with this whole project. I'm just having a hard time believing that some guy who served time for fraud is going to get enough legitimate money from investors to put up a baseball-only stadium, a football-only stadium, a Nascar/IRL-only venue, and a resort golf course. Of course, HollyHills wants some public money (of course) and won't even give a ballpark estimate until the new year.
What's the price tag, anyway? Three billion?
It's really sickening to me that when some great development in San Antonio is coming or someone wants to bring something to our city; People put down the city and basically say we are not worthy, and say basically; that no way can San Antonio have that.
I'm sick and tired of that.
This is the kind of thinking that keeps us a lower class city.
That thinking in this thread is coming from two people who don't live in San Antonio.
Well that's why SA needs to just head forward and prove people wrong so that the best the doubters can do is roll their eyes. I'm doing my part.
actually Jerry Jones doesnt want a team in San Antonio, doesnt matter what else happens.
nice to see them finally buying the necessary land to try to make this pipe dream happen.
San Antonio is growing leaps in bounds both population wise and job wise.
The future is very bright for this city.
With some 3-5 percent annual job growth for atleast the next 5 years if not longer.
Not to mention the serious growth spurt the city is currently going through population wise with us hitting the 2 million mark by or before 2008.
Really, so that wasn't his "I wouldn't mind a team in San Antonio" quotes I saw in an MSNBC article?
The tenor of this discussion has a lot to do with the goodwill (or lack thereof) that the thread's originator has earned for himself in this forum.
Yep, here it is:
http://msnbc.msn.com/id/9887810/
Jones, in New York to introduce Sheryl Crow as the halftime entertainer for the Cowboys’ Thanksgiving Day game, said he would have no objection to an NFL team in San Antonio, even though Texas already has teams in Dallas and Houston. The Cowboys have a strong fan base in San Antonio and trained there in the past.
What the does my rep on this board have to do with the news I post here?
Is it your immature blind hate for me? Most likely.
Why don't you just ignore the threads I start. Be a big man instead of a little girl.
Funny. That description fits yourself perfectly.
And the wheel... spins round.
The most expensive private construction project in US history is about to take place in downtown Vegas, costing about $5 billion and covering ~65 acres. What are three spanking new sport-specific stadia and a golf resort on 1000 acres of semi-occupied land gonna run?
San Antonio is the bestest city in the world and the next Phoenix you head.
My estimate... between just a little less than 2 billion and just a little more than 2 billion.
Football stadium: 600 million
MLB Stadium: 600 million
Nascar/Indy track: 200 million
Golf resort: 100 million
Entertainment: 80 million
Office-Hotels: 50 million
Infastructure: 10 million
That's 1.7 billion.
Up the numbers a few and you might get 2 billion.
Wait, the big dig in Boston wasn't the most expensive construction project in the history of the US???
Which one is that?
i mean what exactly do you expect Jerry to say publically? I dont want an NFL team here ever. period. That's bad PR even for Jerry, San Antonio is too much of a cash cow for him to anger the market and let them believe he will support that area's dream of an NFL franchise.
Why do you hate San Antonio?
I think the Big Dig was like $15 billion, but that was public $$$.
And Chump, it's the MGM CityCenter project. Here's the link:

Nothing. But he did.
And we can only go by what he says and not what you think he thinks he's thinking.
The leader of this Holly Hills bunch (Heitzler?) is gonna be on the Chris Duel show on KTSA in a few minutes.
In case anyone reading this thread is actually interested in the topic, instead of the argument currently taking place.
From the HollyHills press conference:
Project would be built in phases.
First phase would be Nascar/Indy track, hotels, condo's, movie theater.
Second phase: More condos, time-shares, rodeo village, man-made lake.
Third phase: Football and baseball stadiums.
The project would be 75% privately funded.
Start date of construction 2 years away.
^^^ saw it, looked great. hope it happens sooner rather than later. I love the lake idea.
A project this large will be scaled down for one reason or another
Pro Football Stadium = Most likely
Pro Baseball Stadium = Maybe
Pro Basketball (Current SBC Center) = already there
Indy/NASCAR Racing = gone
resort hotel = will be completed
golf course = completed with hotel
vacation shares = gone
I'd expect a scaled down version, probably due to financial concerns.
