Rays Stadium Drama: Owner Stuart Sternberg comments taken out of context over the weekend

While I was getting ready for take my wife out for breakfast over the weekend, I saw a teaser on Fox 13, our go-to morning news show. It quoted Rays principal owner Stuart Sternberg as saying: “I’ll go halfsies” on new stadium’s $800M price tag -- if we can get naming rights.”

Wow!

Did he really say that though?

Unfortunately, I didn’t get to stick around to watch the actual report. Because, you know, breakfast and such. Pancakes over bonds. I was of course skeptical. Who has time to watch a whole interview anyway?

Thankfully, Neil deMause over at Field of Schemes has a nice #hottake here: http://www.
