BTW ASU's season tickets dropped by 10,000-15,000 the year the Cards showed up. I doubt ASU was thrilled to have the cards.
Madatory gifst to the Sun Angel foundation probably had no inpact on that - yeah right.

I never used the "they suck argument". I only care about my teams finances if they affect the on field performance. I could be wrong about this affecting the cards on the field, but I doubt it. By the time they get any money they will be in the new stadium and revenue streams are not suppose to be an issue. So it likley is just icing on the cake.
ASU fans feel this lawsuit could affect there teams performance. That is why they are upset and emotional. They are tired of being smacked for underacheiving and finally felt the program was moving forward. So they are panicing at the thought that we may be abck in the financial doghouse.
It's one thing to attack beligerent ASU fans, its another to come at ASU with such venom. If you want to bash Smith for going public so be it. He did what he felt he had to do. The same way the Cards did what they felt they had to do. Both have to deal with the criticism and backlash. But some are implying that
ASU is immoral or was out to cheat them. That is not fair.
Just as The Cards feel they had a legal right to money earned, ASU may have felt they had a legal right to not go on without the Cards. Whether its a legitimate misunderstanding of the intent of the deal or one them is trying to take advantage of a bad contract I don't care. I do not have enough info to make a educated decision.
That said, I feel that the cards made a horrible decision. They opened themselves up to ridicule. They are suing a public entity after the same public gave them a big fat new home. This is not even close to a disagreement over a construction contract. Like I said earlier it is not just that they are suing to get part of the money ASU received for the deal. They want damges for revenue lost. That is laughable. ASU's attendance is twice as much and the stadium recives far more television exposure from ASU. That is my problem, they sound ungrateful. Fiesta Bowl has even had prblems with these guys. Perhaps the Cards are right but ask for part of the revenue ASU recieved, no more ..no less.

<p>PHXSPORTS4LIFE---As a person who has worked in the construction industry and been involved in many arbitration cases, I agree with you completely. Case in point----- In the past, we were involved in a project with Scottsdale CC. The GC went broke and we had to go to arbitration with the college and bonding company to get our money. We won, collected our funds and there was not even one blurb in the local paper either before, during, or after the decision. ASU taking this public shows a complete lack of ethics on their part.Originally posted by PHXSPORTS4LIFE
are you an attorney? do you understand the full realm of compensatory damages? if you did you would not make such utterly ridiculous statements. i can't argue with you. your only argument in response to my construction contract example is "this is not a construction contract case" - laughable. enjoy your myopia.
