The new park will be so… intimate… that the yellow Willie Stargell seat will have to be somewhere near the Bonaventure in the middle of the Bassin. 😂

Normal car les Pirates se retrouvent principalement sur l'eau. 😉

Le bâtiment patrimonial du 331 Oak en question...

Les fenêtres ont été rénovées récemment, elles étaient mieux avant... et on s'entend qu'on peut toujours les intégrer de façon harmonieuse à n'importe quel développement futur sur le site

Bâtiment en brique rouge = patrimonial pour Valérie et sa gang. Le discernement prend le bord autant que le futur stade des Exporays.

On sent beaucoup d'improvisation dans ce dossier, notamment de la part de la Ville. Ce qui me donne l'impression (jusqu'à preuve du contraire) que l'administration actuelle essaie de miner en douce le projet de stade. 

Pendant ce temps Bronfman garde un profil bas, ne fait pas de vague et semble abandonner l'initiative à des tiers. Pourtant sans un leadership fort, je doute que l'on puisse aller de l'avant, surtout que la formule de partage de l'équipe en laisse déjà plusieurs sur leur faim.

À noter qu'après des études de marché, le site du bassin Peel a été confirmé comme étant le seul site capable d'accueillir et rentabiliser un stade de baseball à cause de sa proximité au centre-ville, son étendue suffisante pour accommoder l'ensemble du complexe et la desserte en TEC, dont le REM jouerait un rôle prépondérant, en rejoignant efficacement la clientèle des banlieues.

J'en conclus qu'à ce stade-ci (sans jeu de mots ) le défi demeure entier, que le bassin Peel est un incontournable géographiquement parlant, ensuite que la question du financement doit être précisée afin de donner l'heure juste aux autorités concernées, à la communauté d'affaires et à la population en général.

Je me demande pourquoi le bassin Peel est si controversé. Je veux dire, on a fait tomber un projet du cirque du soleil il y a 15 ans et là encore, ça gosse comme pas possible. C'est quoi le foutu problème dans cette ville???

Oakland Athletics Moving To Montreal? Odds Suggest That Canada Could Get A New Pro Sports Team

 

It looks as if the MLB’s Athletics could be the next professional sporting franchise to leave Oakland, as Major League Baseball has given The A’s permission to explore new options.

Disputes between the franchise and the city center around the request for a new stadium. The Athletics’ lease of RingCentral Coliseum is set to expire in 2024, and negations between both parties have made little progress in relations to the current condition of the stadium.

Naturally, the team would like to see the entire coliseum rebuilt with modern appointments, but negotiations centered around an upgrade of the current site also appear to fall on deaf ears.

The MLB front offices released an official statement in support of the team’s request for update facilities, and the move would mimmic those seen by the NBA’s Warriors, who moved across the bay to San Francisco, and the NFL’s Raiders, who left California all together.

"The Oakland Coliseum site is not a viable option for the future vision of baseball... We have instructed the Athletics to begin to explore other markets while they continue to pursue a waterfront ballpark in Oakland. The Athletics need a new ballpark to remain competitive, so it is now in our best interest to also consider other markets."

Las Vegas has naturally emerged as the frontrunner for potential destinations, with betting odds listing the option at +175. This would see the franchise departure mirror that of the Raiders, another professional team that saw its growth potential limited by the city of Oakland.

Montreal has surprisingly emerged as the second most favorable option, as the city has a long standing history with the MLB after having served as the home of the Montreal Expos. The Expos competed in the MLB’s National League from 1969 through 2004 before relocating to Washington DC and becoming the Nationals.

If a waterfront site is critical, Las Vegas is doomed... then comes Montreal!
