Poll: new owner preference

[Donn Beach]

It's not the city it's the state. It's a nice location but there's issues with it. Primarily the lack of an ability to add revenue around it. It really is limited terms of generating revenue. Nobody is predicting a new stadium but who knows. Who was predicting Allen getting $10 billion dollars after being the white knight and buying it for $194 mil

Yeah making desperate people and animals happy and giving them hope doesn't sound like a job to me. To me it would be an incredible blessing.

And of course in my spare time I would be traveling around the world with my harem of hotties partying my ass off. Win Win! ha

That's what I am saying. Having a billion dollars would be an obligation to do something worthwhile with it. I'm at that point in life where I'd be busy trying to figure out how to give it away. I've got a three year old now. That's the life I'm focused on developing. Honestly I don't see a billion dollars being helpful with it. A million dollars would, a billion not so much. I'd like more money to ensure his education but I really wouldn't want to just leave him a billion dollars.

And I have been around the world. I really don't have much interest in going into the city these days let alone going around the world again. It does strike me as a bunch of hassle. Of course this is a function of getting old.

Speaking of, you have to be too young to remember the television show "The Millionaire". Jeez, it was 55-60. It's what it was about. Mysterious wealthy guy gives a million dollars to an unsuspecting beneficiary. It was like Mission Impossible. Each episode starting with his agent delivering this fortune to some unsuspecting person. The stories were how it impacted their lives good or bad. It was a popular show.

Here is that show you referenced Donn

I have never understood why one of the owners of the Mariners or Seahawks since 1976 has not purchased all of the buildings to the west of the stadiums and built the needed infrastructure for new revenue sources. Restaurants, bars, parking, housing, etc., would make the stadium area even more vibrant. I can see the difficulty now, but 20 years ago, it was the correct move.

What was the guys name, wanted to build a basketball arena? He owns all that property around there. I was reading about the new Atlanta stadium. They call it a sports village. The stadium is tied to new sports oriented development around it. That's the current model

Anyway, another name has emerged

The report stated that “billionaire financier Todd Boehly is weighing a bid for the Seattle Seahawks, a deal that would add an NFL team to a stable that includes stakes in the Los Angeles Lakers, Dodgers, and other professional sports teams.”

The 52-year-old Boehly is also a chairman and owner of Chelsea Football Club and has a stake in the Los Angeles Sparks of the WNBA.
Boehly, who according to Forbes Magazine cofounded the holding company Eldridge Industries in 2015, after building Guggenheim Partners’ credit business and serving as president, is listed by the magazine as having a net worth of $9.3 billion.

I read that guys Wiki page and I am like why in the hell couldn't I have done that. Dude couldn't figure out what to do after college and is now with almost $10 Billion....

Early life and education
Boehly, whose grandparents emigrated from Germany,[6] He was born in Fairfax County, Virginia. His father was an engineer and his mother was a first grade teacher. He has a younger sister.[7] Boehly attended Landon School in Bethesda, Maryland, graduating in 1991.[6]

Boehly graduated in 1996 from the College of William & Mary with a Bachelor of Business Administration degree in finance.[8] After feeling overwhelmed with his college experience and not knowing exactly what he wanted to do, he visited his former geometry professor from Landon, Steve Sorkin, for advice.[8][9] Boehly had an interest in finance and Sorkin advised him to move to London due to the potential opportunities to work in one of the largest global financial centers.[8]

Taking Sorkin's advice on board, he moved to London on a special British Universities North America Club (BUNAC) visa and studied at the London School of Economics residing at Passfield Hall. Whilst at the London School of Economics, Boehly began working at Citibank and then at CS First Boston.[9]
