But the $1 billion (investment) doesn't happen without the stadium piece of it. The stadium is the anchor.

We worked late into the evening last night and it's a competitive process. We're still working on the final details of the contract.

We're not there yet, but we're not that far off.

My personal belief is this deal is not going to get better for the state than right now.

We have no comment on the latest Culpepper e-mail.

This is the best opportunity the state has had to solve all three (stadium) issues. There's starting to be some discussions. So we're trying to keep it going, to try and make our case.

It was a very direct, personal, genuine message.
