    BIG PAPA I hear the word is the ATA kicked around paying $10 Million for the Cardinal Center. True or False Papa?

    This supposedly came from a delegate. Is this the plan? Say it ain’t so!

    I hope BIG PAPA is still in good health. Hopefully he is squirrel hunting.

    my health is currently holding steady. Still fighting leg strength. Not hunting squirrel yet although should be getting close. Many of the leaves are off so we should be able to find them.

    Before you go off shooting squirrels how about telling us if the ATA considered giving $10 million for the CC.

    Omg. OP said the ATA kicked this around. It never said the ATA offered or does it? Reading challenged people hurt forums.

    If one of our insiders has information I hope they share it. Tom can go watch TV if he doesn’t like it here. How much is the CC worth? We can’t call Jack.

    It's been discussed many a time. True? Who knows
    And I would think it's worth more than that but I'm not an appraiser.
    And I am watching TV. Sort of

    Why would the ATA want the Cardinal Center?

    I don’t know, maybe because it fits with what type shooting facility they need in an area where restaurants and hotels are available.

    Makes way to much sense so I doubt it. The OSTA has the first option to buy the CC from the original contract. I doubt any of the OSTA board would know that, but that was what it was in the beginning.

    How much does the OSTA have in disposable assets even if the CC would become available for sale? What is their borrowing power?

    The ATA could be forced to buy it. They don’t want the OSTA to not have a home ground. The WSRC isn’t panning out for anyone but Gipson and Moody. Jmho

    There has been a lot of talk about companies wanting the land. Because of the property location it would be a great hub for many distributors.

    Strange the ATA didn’t think all that traffic meant it was a good place for the free HOF Building.
