The Comittee has to announce today or some legal wragglin will have to occur. I'm thinkin SF has it, with Larry Ellison being out there, but who know's neither city has finalized anything.

Who's Jerry?

Okay, now I know who you mean. I didn't think you were in the boat business though.

Larry wins:

"The deal meted out will require Ellison’s team to invest upfront into Piers 30-32, just south of the Bay Bridge. In return, The City will provide free rent and longterm development rights on that and other nearby property for decades.

San Francisco will also invest millions in city services into the race, but city officials have said it is worth it in exchange to the $1 billion or more in tourist dollars they expect to come to the region during the race"



Newport doesn't have the space or money.

I am a cynic, the whole thing is about pushing the price lower. Without Newport, SF has little or no competition otherwise
