The Idaho Stampede concluded their final season, and if we are being nice, we could say nice things about them. I did not always say nice things about the Stampede, and had the long held belief that they existed as simply "development theater" (like security theater at airports) and were intended to not make deep roots in Idaho in preparation for a move to Utah. Let's look back at how we got here. About a year ago the Utah Jazz announced that they bought the Stampede, and that Dennis Lindsey wants to "show the Boise market that we can be good partners;" however, Randy Rigby suggested that they have a "one year window to look at things long-term.
