Would Wor. Co. welcome Warblers franchise?

Site plans, cost arrangements, feasibility studies and, not to be overlooked, a location are still all questions without answers concerning a proposed sports complex in Worcester County.

Hat Trick Consultants, the Texas-based firm that approached the county last year with the idea, appeared before the Worcester County Commissioners this week with few new details in the venture.

The first magic number is $15,000, which is the county’s share to fund the phase I study. The total cost of the study is close to $75,000 — a little higher than average since the county is contemplating installing outdoor athletic fields to accompany the project.

The Maryland Department of Business and Economic Development is contributing $25,000, Hat Trick is putting up $5,000 and the Maryland Stadium Authority is contributing about $30,000.

If I am not mistaken, these "donations" totalling $70K are all ALL taxpayer funds. I don't want anything suggested by someone named BARACK! I must be a racist :(

You are not a racist. You are just a person that cannot organize a thought into a complete sentence.

OC can barely support a movie theater let alone a sports arena.
