Agreed. My thing is, if a sports stadium is gonna be built with public money, it should belong to the public and the team owner should have to pay rent and/or revenue share. Otherwise, why should a billionaire (or group of wealthy people) get a taxpayer-funded stadium for them to print money with?
- Spooky23 9y agoStadiums generate a lot of construction jobs, a lot of billable attorney hours, operational revenue to the locality and state/federal dollars for infrastructure. At worst, political people and relatives are members of LLCs that are owning real estate. Basically, it lets politicians be gold-givers. That means political capital, which is as important as cash is to a billionaire.
- tgb 9y agoOh come on, Philadelphia has plenty of other projects like roads and schools that it can spend that money on that also generate those jobs.
