The Grizzlies management is calling on fans to basically influence the city to comply with the ball club’s request to lower their rent.

After months of closed door meeting, the consultant the city hired to handle the ordeal is scheduled to present his recommendations tomorrow.

In the Summer, Grizzlies ownership asked the city to lower its rent from around $1.5 million to just around $500,000.

After many closed door meetings, the city’s consultant is scheduled to lay out new terms for the arrangement at the council meeting Thursday.

The Grizzlies executive vice president, and general manager sent out an email to fans Tuesday asking them to show up at Thursday’s meeting to persuade council members.

This Thursday December 3rd, 2009 at 5:30 PM, the Fresno City Council will receive a presentation describing proposed changes to our stadium lease, in a session open to the public. The address to City Hall is 2600 Fresno Street in downtown Fresno. If we’ve had a positive impact on you, your family, or any organization you support, now is the time we ask you to share this with the City Council. Please wear your Grizzlies gear (hats, shirts, jackets, claws) in support of the team!
