Popcorn journalism at it's finest taking a series of unrealted events, creating an agenda and the desired clicks to do so.

Coderre never proposes spending 500 million on a ballpark. That figure came from Plante's election campaign with that big 'cheque' in the background. It seemed to have worked.

As a matter of fact, there have no propsals for a new stadium. Just behind the scenes talk because any team would be on MLB's schedule and they're ready.

As for Coderre's departure, the efforts led by Warren Cromartie started in 2012. Before Coderre was even elected into office.

Replacement of the Big O's roof was in the works anyways.

Fake news!
