Dynamo: Send money or, um, we'll think of something

The owners of the Houston Dynamo MLS franchise, frustrated by the fact that they haven't gotten public funds yet for their proposed $100 million soccer stadium, reached into the stadium playbook this week and pulled out the old hurry-up offense. "We have a window now up until the end of the year where we can get this thing done despite the economic challenges that exist in the marketplace," team president Oliver Luck said Wednesday. "If it doesn't happen by the end of the year, it's the old saying: A no is bad, a slow no is even worse. If there is no resolution by the end of the year, we'll have to go to plan B, whatever that is."

Duly noted.
