i normally think esmonde has an axe to grind with sports in general.. (he originally was a NEWS sports guy) but tend to agree with him.. just my opinion, i like the ralph, i like outside, i like the elements, its who we are.. i could care less about "hosting" a super bowl... not going to happen anyway.. retro-fit the ralph.. nothing to do with tax dollars, just a reality.. the new stadium will not be a pancea for development.. again.. just my opinion..
