As Dreamers Do Part Deux

[OldNavy1988]

Owners from other sports on Tiffany Disney

Jerry Jones (Dallas Cowboys)
"I'll be damned if her franchise ever replaces mine as 'America's Team.'"

Reporter: "Actually, they've won three Stanley Cups since you last won a Super Bowl." [1]

Jones (to himself): "Dammit!!"

[1] Twice under Walt, Jr. (2001, '03). The third Cup was won in Tiff's third year in charge.

Michael Bidwill (Arizona Cardinals)
"After Ms. Disney made the sensory-inclusive upgrades to her arena, we wanted to followed suit. The Circle K Dome became probably the second or third facility in North America to offer a more comfortable gameday experience for fans on the Autism spectrum."

Al Davis (Las Vegas Raiders)
"Last year when we traveled to San Diego to play the Chargers, my son Mark told me about the upgrades Ms. Disney made to her hockey arena to accommodate special needs fans. On our flight back to Las Vegas, I immediately told my players and staff that I wanted to do the same for the Michelob Ultra Dome.

Jerry Colangelo (NBA Suns, MLB Diamondbacks, IHL Roadrunners, WLAF Wranglers, ArenaFL Rattlers, WNBA Mercury)
"Ms. Disney without a doubt has set a new standard for sports venues around the world. Here in Phoenix last summer, we arranged for the Mercury and the Rattlers to play temporarily at the old Arizona Veterans Memorial Coliseum while we added our own sensory-friendly upgrades to the America West Arena. In Tucson, upgrades to Kino Stadium are in progress as of October 2008 and will be completed for the Wranglers' home opener for 2009."

Pat Williams (Orlando Magic)
"Our new arena, scheduled to open in the Fall of 2010, will indeed feature sensory inclusive amenities for Autistic fans on opening night. And we have Ms. Disney in San Diego to thank for leading the way on that."

Ron Burkle (San Francisco 49ers)
"Sensory-friendly upgrades to Chevron Stadium will be ready for the 2010 preseason."

Mark Mastrov (MLB Oakland Athletics, WLAF Oakland Condors and NBA Sacramento Royals)
"If our ballpark proposal to keep the A's in Oakland is approved, sensory friendly amenities will be ready for Opening Day."

Jeanie Buss (NFL Rams and NBA Lakers)
"Ms. Disney's upgrades to the Sempra Energy Center to make it more comfortable for Autistic fans was a huge wake up call for us in LA. Last year, Tiff gave me a tour of those upgrades while the Lakers faced the Clippers. After that, I consulted with architects and Autism experts on sensory friendly upgrades that are now in progress at both the Staples Center and Amblin Field."​

Regarding the sensors for autistic fans in hockey arenas, will we see the same happen for the EIHL in the UK if they take inspiration from this?

Yes. The EIHL clubs are paying attention to what Tiffany Disney did in the States. Ditto to the Premier League.

I looking foward to the election. Sometell that the rpublican are going supressed by the reform party because of the blackmark of the winesinte impeachent. I feel that only way that the republican can stay a relvent polic force after the unholy thrinty of the nixoion bundy and wiensine admins is if they can convince the american public that that winesitne impeachment was unfair. They may be able to do if wineisnte dosn't get in another scandel

It's still late October and we only have one presidential debate left.

I wonder will shara palin make a fool of her during the last persidental debae. If she does it probbly be the final nail in the coffin of the GOP. I feel that is possible that palian makes a fool of herself because when she was Mcain running mate otl she made a lot contersival statment that cause several high ranking republican to feel she was a libality

Also while you have annouced each party persidental canidante who haven't annonced the running mates. I feel that Obama should choice someone other then biden as his vp. Can you think of any females who would make a good runningmate for obama

@OldNavy1988 changing the topic to the Saturday Morning blocks on the major networks, there’s a chance they could all last as late as the 2020s ITTL. OTL’s Qubo managed to limp along until March 2021. That is unless you already have plans for them…

Speaking of which, not sure it was explained but, how did they all last this long? Did cable not grow fast enough? Was the launch of the internet slower?

Has anything happened to Disney Epic Kingdom?

Speaking of which, not sure it was explained but, how did they all last this long? Did cable not grow fast enough? Was the launch of the internet slower?

Cable still grew at the same pace as OTL, just not as many exclusive scripted shows.

Dial up is pretty much dead and most internet access is now via cable lines.
