Chapter Chapter 12 in National League Franchises: Team Performances Inspire Business Success, 2016, pp 95-101 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract During August 1990 Denver voters passed a tiny percent sales tax to finance the construction of a new baseball stadium. Meanwhile, the Colorado Baseball Advisory Committee, headed by Governor Roy Romer, designated the Colorado Baseball Partnership (CBP) to spearhead the formation of an ownership group. After a National League (NL) expansion committee heard the Denver-based group’s presentation in September, it revealed six potential sites for a new team. Besides Denver, these were Buffalo, Orlando, South Florida, Tampa-St. Petersburg, and Washington, D.C.
