Wait a minute. I thought Mayor White said there wasn’t a particular plan or proposal for the land the city, er, didn’t buy for the Dynamo’s new stadium. Well, the city DID buy it for the Dynamo, but not really (*wink, wink*). I mean, we all KNOW it’s for the Dynamo, but the Mayor doesn’t want any public input, so he says there’s not a specific plan or proposal for the more than $16 million (speculative) land purchase.
Anyway, the Houston Business Journal reports that five finalists have been chosen to design the Dynamo Stadium that, ummmm, isn’t really set to go anywhere because, uhhhh, the city doesn’t have any land set aside for a soccer stadium. Really.
And don’t miss the last paragraph of the HBJ story:
The Dynamo wants to have an architect in hand as it continues to negotiate the stadium financing package in which the club and the City would share the cost of the project, according to team President Oliver Luck.
“Share the cost.”
