I’ve read this post several times and I really can’t tell if I’m pretty sure I’m starting to believe I’m almost positive the N&R’s Doug Clark is being sarcastic when he says Greensboro needs “a state-of-the-art, climate-controlled, domed football stadium added to its existing facilities — the Coliseum and the coming-soon Aquatic Center.”

I’ll go ahead and give Clark the benefit of the doubt, because surely an editor for the watchdog local daily would never believe that G’boro’s city government (that’s who would build it, you know) could competently tackle such a project when they’re having so much trouble with a swimming pool, for heaven’s sake. Then again, maybe I’m assuming too much.

Interesting that Clark cites Ford Field as a prime example. Guess he knows its predecessor the Silverdome —- built for $56 million a mere 30 years ago—- just sold for a paltry $600k?
