We know it's never going to be easy dealing with Mike Agganis. But punishing him can't be the focus. The city had been too quick to threaten to evict the Aeros and risk an empty stadium. There shouldn't be talk of eviction unless there's absolutely no other recourse. And we're not at that point.
Mediation makes all the sense in the world.
Keep in mind, this is a contract dispute. Nothing has happened that warrants an end of Aeros baseball in Akron. The issues relate to how much money Agganis owes the city for construction costs, and where he can place advertising signs in the stadium. Disputes of this nature are settled in the courts every day. Let the courts determine how much Agganis owes the city, and if he doesn't pay, the consequences will be his.
