You Have $500 Million

PinkFloyd · 03-03-2007, 07:23 PM

What professional franchise would you buy ??? Any sport....

I must be sick, but I'd take the Royals... They will be up and coming in the next year or two...

Hootie · 03-03-2007, 07:23 PM

Dallas Mavericks. Phoenix Suns, a close second.

Hammock Parties · 03-03-2007, 07:24 PM

I'd buy the Texas Rangers.

Any one who doesn't pick the Chiefs isn't a true fan.

I disagree. I'd rather be a FAN of the Chiefs than own them.

Every Arena League team.

500 mil won't buy the Chiefs, and leave you with any operating money.

I think I'd buy an Arena League team.

Jenson71 · 03-03-2007, 07:31 PM

The Red Sox are less than $500 mil? I'll take that.

PinkFloyd · 03-03-2007, 07:33 PM

Could buy the Expos and move them to Vegas... MLB owns them right now...

No they got sold to a DC group, MLB has no control over them anymore.

88TG88 · 03-03-2007, 07:25 PM

I would buy the Los Angeles Lakers.

ChiefsCountry · 03-03-2007, 07:26 PM

500 million wouldnt buy you any NFL franchise so i would go with the Royals and have money left over to buy the Magic or some NHL to bring to Sprint Center.

JBucc · 03-03-2007, 07:26 PM

The Yankees. So I could run them into the ground and watch all of New York suffer.

acesn8s · 03-03-2007, 07:26 PM

$500 million? Rules out the Yankees

**noa** · 03-03-2007, 07:29 PM

I would say the Chiefs, but according to Forbes, they would cost me $700 million, and I'd probably want to keep an extra few million for a rainy day, so that doesn't seem like a possibility.
I could, however, buy the Red Sox, so I'll go with them. Great fans and a competitive division.
