Do you see anybody, outside of Detroit, interested in breaking the budget to encourage the fanbase?

The Mariners got their stadium, they got their sweetheart deal, and they have determined how much they will spend.  End of story.  We should just deal with it.  And sportwriters: stop demanding ownership open the pocketbooks.  Save your breath.  This isn't 1995.  The stadium is built and the agreement is signed. 
I noticed Larry Stone pulled the Steve Kelley schtick just today:  "Prove to the fans you care, Mariners!  Go for it!  Make a deal, buy a bat." http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/thehotstoneleague/2015463884_ms_sh...
Save your breath, Larry.  Millionaires don't really care how you think they should spend their money. 
As for me, I am warming to the Detroit owners.  I don't know what it is about them, but it's like they want to thank people for not bailing on their city or something.  Good for them.  Detroit needs good teams that build civic pride.
