Cup in Newport Yes or No?

Personally, I'd love to see it come back. That being said, the town can't handle the crowds.

As far as fishing does, it won't effect it very much IMO.

I would like to see it in Newport. Although I think the new facilities would have to be elsewhere, I just can't see the inner harbor handling the teams for 2 or more years. Maybe we can get rid of that last carrier and build a world class facilities down on that pier.

I live in Newport. Would like to see it but not if tax payers have to foot the bill. They have to tell me how to pay for it. I suggest a tax levy on all marinas, boat dealers, etc. They want it here - they should pay for the improvements at Ft Adams. That state park belongs to all residents of RI - I'd hate to see the park given over to another private entity like yacht racing. You already have Sail Newport taking over a section of my park. Try fishing off the floating docks at Sail Newport - they chase you off. I'm afraid of more space being taken over by the sailing crowd. The bilionaire from BMW Oracle is holding Newport and San Fransisco over a barrel. I'd kick him in the ass and send him to Italy if he's not happy.
