????? My comment was not to whether you like being corrected or not, it was the fact that while you appear to be fastidious about correcting others, you apparently are not fastidious about the correctness of the information you provide. Hence the reference to "new " owners when they have owned the business for at least a decade.— August 21, 2018 12:46 p.m.

don bauder, right, but how much are San Diego taxpayers STILL on the hook for was the question. Matt Potter wrote a story a couple of years ago in which he claimed that tax payers could end up paying upwards of $250 million.I believe this came from the state killing redevelopment and Department of Finance ruling San Diego’s redevelopment program couldn’t pay the city’s Petco Park debts. As I recall, the city sued the Department of Finance and the city lost in court. So what was sold as being more or less self-sustaining ended up being a burden on the taxpayers of San Diego. So again, my question is how much if that $250 million that the city expected the redevelopment agency to pay has been stuck on the taxpayers. Matt Potter reported it at around $250 million, if I remember correctly, but I have also read that ir would be in the range of $170 million, if the city refinanced the debt.— August 21, 2018 12:36 p.m.

The cost of Camden Yards was $225 million, including $100 million for land acquisition and $125 million for the stadium. Under the terms of thire lease, the Orioles pay the stadium authority varying percentages of ticket sales, stadium advertising revenues, parking revenues, concessions sales and suite and club-level revenues that amount to about $10.5 million a year. Thru fiscal year 2017, the stadium authority has recieved about $265 million from the Orioles. Correct me if I am wrong, but didn't Petco cost something in the neighborhood of HALF A BILLION? And the Padres allegedly threw in about $150 million of that. I wonder how much the city gets per year from the Padres? Aren't San Diego taxpayers still on the hook for something like $250 million in reimbursements for city obligations used to pay for Petco? Seems like Baltimore probably made out better than San Diego— August 21, 2018 9:27 a.m.

Of course I'm correct. Why else would I provide information unless it was correct information? Just because something is "new" to you doesn't mean it is actually new. For someone who outwardly appears so fastidious when "correcting" others, apparently when it comes to yourself, not so much I guess.— August 21, 2018 8:56 a.m.

Well, the parent company Seven & i Holdings Co. and 7-Eleven Japan have been the majority owners since the mid 90's when Southland sold them about 75% ownership for about1/2 Billion dollars and Seven & i Holdings Co. has been the holding company for at least a decade, so I don't know that "new owners" is an accurate description.— August 20, 2018 6:23 p.m.
