It's downright brutal there. I wouldn't be suprised if BK is asking the tax assessor for a modification on the rate b/c they are at 60% occupancy and the valuation of the property has depreciated. Doubtful though....
I bet hes charging $50 sq/ft +. Only the high-margin retailers can swallow that nut.

Why do supposedly intelligent posters insist on spewing crap about Bob Kraft having a hand in Belichick's decision of not officially naming an offensive and defensive coordinator?
Umm, maybe because it's... true?
The Krafts undeniably give BB a pretty free reign in making day to day football decisions for this team. Organizational decisions? Decisions regarding 40-plus million dollar free agents? Not a chance in hell.

the problem is that to the north, he's got legacy place and eventually westwood station....to the south its the wrentham outlets and providence place
demographics has him in sort of a pickle....
the only thing the place has that is in any way unique is bass pro, and most people who go there don't bother touching the rest of the place
as for rents, I bet he's giving some of the bigger names rent breaks there (eastern mountain sports, victoria's secret), other-wise, those places would be getting out of dodge
I don't think so. I just don't see the Pats doling out big-time dollars to players who may not even see the field in 2011. They may sign players to big contracts, but only with safeguards that protect the team from a cash-standpoint.
The owners do have some insurance with the guaranteed TV contracts, at least.
I personally still doubt a football-less 2011 comes to pass...or, I hope at least. I would be pissed if we lost another season of Brady particularly after what we dealt with last year.

Yep. We live in central ma near 495/290. The wife will go to Wrentham or NH or the local malls. From a shopping standpoint she has zero interest in going to Patriot Place. I took her once. She wasn't impressed.
God knows she is an authority on shopping....

I agree.

$20.4b worth of TV money to go around. Not sure what the breakout are...It'll keep the lights on, but as you point out a lockout will hurt the other parts of their business. Some short-term and long-term. Everyone loses.
I agree it's unlikely, but the team still needs to plan for one.
