Spivak:
That could be part of it although remember new Comiskey came in under budget (I always wondered where the money saved went? Back to the taxpayers??)
I suspect part of it was no one knew the Camden Yards look (retro) would take off and that JR wanted to have everything in house as far as shops, food options...he didn't want to allow the possibility of things springing up which could take away some of the income directly from the organization.
There's probably other reasons as well.
