“Montreal, ville de sport…”
Beau message de @pinardvelo
Rassurant. Reassuring.
I swear on anything near and dear to me, even before my involvement on the Peanut Project aka Penske file, I’ve always supported anything and everything that helps Montreal.
These temporary (as in F1, this cycling race) are great but naturally ongoing things (yes, like the @Montreal_Expos and 81 home games) would be so transformative for the city that I’m happy we have an administration at city hall that gets this.
Don’t forget, everything is balance.
And balance is a journey to a destination you never actually reach!
The people who are most confident in the @Montreal_Expos’ return are those who played futbol (soccer) with me.
Je réalise qu’avec la couverture médiatique récente sur les @Montreal_Expos, certains dans notre groupe qui s’intéressent au retour des Nordiques à la @LNH_FR @NHL n’ont peut-être pas vu les articles et vidéos que nous avions publiés précédemment sur le sujet. Alors voilà, pour votre information, les liens dans les réponses.
Vous voulez revoir les Nordiques à Québec? J’ai élaboré un modèle d’affaires qui pourrait répondre aux principales préoccupations économiques de la @NHL. Tout ce qui manque? Mario Lemieux. Vous le connaissez? Faites-lui parvenir ce modèle!

The right business model & catalyst makes the Nordiques a realistic number 2 in @nhl's expansion field. Who's that catalyst? Magnificent Super Mario Lemieux. Details in article below.

The method chosen is a reflection of one’s perception and position.
The outcome is usually a result of one’s preparation and execution.
Plus récemment, beaucoup plus ambitieux et détaillé: un video.
Ce modele démontre un groupe axé sur les sports... un "architecte" peut ajouter un pilier divertissement avec @Cirque, etc.

FWIW @RyanQualtrics is right:
@mlb expansion "is not usually conducted publicly, historically that's not the way expansion really gets done."
So why did the Peanut Project adopt a very public approach to restore @Montreal_Expos
For one, I tried to do this privately, but - pardon the crudeness - life is full of cockblockers.
Second, @Montreal is a sycophantic city (all cities are, ie NYers lose their mind wondering if someone is actually a Rockefeller/Vanderbilt etc) but Montreal suffers also wildly from inertia.
I had to prove the case with MLB, city hall, fans, investors etc. There really wasn't any other way... the previous group was private, they gave up in the end. Maybe if they were more transparent, they would have learned early on that the sister city, split season idea would be DOA. But no, billionaires in ivory towers surround themselves with sycophantic advisers who will say what they want to hear. You think Expos fans, Peanut Project supporters care about my feelings? They tell me when I am wrong or headed down the wrong way.
Third, frankly, given the unlikely odds at the onset, I really had no other choice... and 300 days in, I sincerely think it was the right approach: Montreal went from someone between improbable and impossible to increasingly inevitable. Ryan is not officially part of the Salt Lake bid, but looks like he will be joining the Miller family, who have helped put Utah in the pole position of the expansion process.
I link straight to that section of the 300-day update: is the MLB expansion race over before it even starts, in the replies.
The inventory, so to speak, for a future @Montreal_Expos stadium. Full details in the video.
I combined this 300-day update of the Peanut Project with an answer to the question:
Could the @MLB expansion race be over before it starts?
Don't get me wrong, this is MLB's call.
And, Raleign ain't going anywhere. Nashville, Charlotte et al will continue their work.
But the @Montreal_Expos effort is much closer to looking inevitable to prospective investors and politicians considering backing other cities.
Link - and much needed time stamps to this "Building in Public" class from the "From Concept to Reality" class in how as an entrepreneur you can turn Headwinds into Tailwinds.
