Montreal lacuna looms over National League expansion
An editorial criticizes the National League for awarding a franchise to Montreal without solid financing or a ready stadium plan. It notes Montreal’s potential dome cost between 40 and 55 million dollars and a 15 percent park rental for 31 home games, contrasting with San Diego where a prepared owner secured a franchise and stadium. If Montreal backs the project with real funds, the club could survive, but current conditions threaten a long-term tomb in the standings.
