There was much talk about building a new football stadium on part of the land and taking over the old river park. My accounting instructor said that the taxes were so high in the way the transfer would take place that the committee voted NOT to accept NCR’s offer. So, it was not until much later when this transfer took place and not until after the offer had been turned down, at least once.
