[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That would be money the city was going to spend regardless of whether an arena was going there, or three more office buildings. Sewer, electric and public space infrastructure.  I suppose the expansion of the metro station would count there as well, but that will need to be done, somehow, in PY as well.[/quote]

That may be true, but I still wish private sports team owners would be expected to cover those kinds of costs, too. [/quote]

Why? The city would be spending it either way; same with Nats Park. You wouldn't expect a developer building a new building inside the district to handle all of the municipal infrastructure.[/quote]

Same with Audi Field, too, for the record. Though the city paid the full cost of Nats Park, unlike the other stadiums.

I guess I wish rich people who own sports teams could be expected to pay for more of the cost of their stadiums than the norm just because it seems like we'd all be better off if they did? I attend a lot of events at all three stadiums, so I'm not anti-sports, but I think it's ridiculous how much public support is now considered routine.[/quote]
