    From what I remember, Mattress Mac offered 1/4 of the money to build a stadium but no one else offered any other part of it.

    He wouldn't have been able to afford donating 30-40 million dollars.

    It would have relied heavily on tax dollars (like Reliant) and the referendum for Bud would have failed.

    He offered to drum up support...and even that was half-hearted. No real measurable steps.

    I like Mattress Mac, but EVERYTHING he does is a marketing tool. Everything.
