cberkas Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Aren't the Georgia Dome and Turner Field only 20 or so years old? Georgia Dome was built in 1993 and Turner Field was built for the Olympics in 1996. Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis will be 20 years old next year I think.

Dolphins Stadium? Dolphin Stadium? Land Shark Stadium? Update? How about just changing the name again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackheart Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Jesse Ventura was pretty much a disaster as governor, but at least his position on public funding of stadiums wasnt costing the state (Joe Taxpayer) an arm and a leg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love sports as much as the next guy - probably moreso - but citizens should be outraged at the amount of money put into these ventures. As long as fans continue to fill the stands, owners will hold them hostage when they think a stadium upgrade is in order. Football is the one that really kills me. A couple of meaningless exhibition games, 8 regular season games, and maybe a home playoff game or two. At whatever cost is necessary, I guess.

Express your outrage with your pocketbook and your remote control. The second one is tricky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't the new Red Wings Arena going to be paid for entirely by the City of Detroit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WiSioux Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Isn't the new Red Wings Arena going to be paid for entirely by the City of Detroit?Absolutely not. Detroit just exited bankruptcy. We aren't trying to go back. Property taxes will fund 58% of the building, team ownership the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
