Newport may not have the money, but if the right
ventures got behind a hosting push,,,,,,,,,,,,,it COULD happen.

for me and my viewing pleasure~~~
there is NO BETTER place on God's blessed seas to watch The America's Cup!! i also believe that the winds and waters off of the City by the Sea test a 12Meter's mettle better than most places, and certainly so when it comes to the placid Pacific. likewise, there is something so quintessentially New England about watching those majestic boats as they make the point at Castle Hill from a day's endeavors of tacking and jibbing,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

while SF may have the city and the culture to pull it off,,,,,,,,,
by NO MEANS or stretch of the imagination do they have the America's Cup History that NPT does. logistics;smojistics!! NPT is a clusterfluke in the summer w/ or w/out The Cup. and as far as losing "your" Fort Adams, DZ, the sacrifice seems worth the boon to many facets of Newport's struggling economies tourism being at the fore.

it would be GREAT for the area businesses and, imho, would NOT impact the fishing at all,,,,,,,,,,,
doan we ALL know by now, there's no feesh in Newport, especially not in the summer!!??!!
