> [@RickJay](#): > > The arguments for the Rangers are sound but the team’s bankrupt. I don’t really see a bankrupt team getting the leverage, financially of politically, to replace a perfectly good stadium, and there aren’t any better markets to move to. That was my first thought when I read those posts. Or, to quote my internal dialogue more accurately, “With what money?” The team sure doesn’t have any, and the city of Arlington will be paying for their share of the Death Star for many years to come. Unless another city (in this area–but Dallas, the prime suspect, has _not_ shown a willingness to shell out cash for sports teams of late–or another) lures them away, the little red-shoed Rangers will be playing in that park for quite a while.
