I've already received a housing inquiry due to the fact that the Boston Red Sox may be moving here. For those of you out of the loop here's the scoop.
Although Fort Myers has been the home to Red Sox Spring Training for the last 16 years there is a clause in their contract that says if they outgrow their present stadium they are allowed out of that contract in 2009.
Sarasota officials are trying to lure The Sox with a multi-million dollar deal they hope The Sox can't refuse. It includes a brand new $70 million stadium that seats about 4,000 more people than The City of Palms. It's still very early in the negotiations process, but Sarasota officials are prepared to do whatever they have to, to get the Sox here. "I'm sure that the most attractive financial package is what will sway them and thats what we have to focus on," said Ken Shelin, a Sarasota City Commissioner.
