Can you spell b.o.o.o.d.o.g.g.l.e.? I know you can!

Robin,

Unless I missed it, you omit two relevant facts:

1. There is a perfectly good professional soccer stadium in Commerce City. The Avalanche, Nuggets and Mammoth share a venue for over 80 days a year. It seems that two professional soccer teams could do so for approximately 20 dates each. Is this just a vanity project for Denver?

2. Your analysis of costs and benefits does not examine the comparative benefits of alternative uses of the $70 million in spending. But, of course, that is the only rational way to evaluate this expenditure. I would very much like to see the city develop alternative scenarios for spending these funds, e.g. at the new Park Hill Park, and then compare costs and benefits.

If you covered these in your presentation and I missed them, I apologize.
