Re(9): Orlando IS Going to a 2 Man Roster to Avoid State Fees!!!

So many things misunderstood, the people there are trying to keep the building open and regroup, not kill jai alai at all. There are very quirky fines and fees the state imposes for doing under 100 performances. The fines and fees are very expensive, in excess of $100,000 a year on top of the bath they take trying to run live jai alai at all. They are only doing something out of necessity to try and save the building from closing and to try and return full card rostered jai alai in 2014. So which would the experts rather have. No Elorri, no amateur access, no betting access to Miami or Dania, no fronton. Or deal with a very short term situation, that saves the fronton boat loads of cash that the State would snipe from them with the ability to return jai alai in the not too distant future? The situations in Ocala and Orlando can not even begin to be compared.
