[quote=Anonymous]First, the Miami Marlins used 1/2 billion of public money to build their stadium. Yet, this is a high unemployment/foreclosure area with school issues. WTF is that all about? And then the citizens of Minnesota vote against using public funds for a new Viking stadium, Roger Goddell flies out there (a real political power broker if ever there was one), and the legislature allocates money for it anyway. So public money is being used to make billionaire owners and their millionaire players even wealthier. We, the public, are idiots because we never do anything about this. If 100,000 people were in the street, this would not happen. It is been proven over and over that the economic benefits of new stadiums are way overrated.[/quote]
