How come State and Local governments subsides sports teams to build stadiums? ?
Why do state and local governments subsidies Professional sports teams build stadiums under the threat to relocate? If the owners can pay the players million dollar salaries then can’t thy affordid to pay for a new staduim out of their own pockets?
I have no idea why state and local governments would waste taxpayers’ money on a non-essential entertainment business that benefits such few people. Like convention centers, these development scams seem to be more about city leaders’ egos.
My city, Portland, OR, which supports so many questionable developments, has not (yet) fallen for a major pro-sports development (although was burned in a minor league baseball stadium remodel deal). The Portland Trail Blazers’ mega-wealthy owner Paul Allen basically built and financed his own arena project in the 1990s (the city made a few relatively minor concessions such a land, street, and parking garage). A few years ago, Allen drove the arena into bankruptcy and threatened to move the team in order to force the City to bail-out the team and arena, but the City refused. And so far, the City has yet to fall for any rumored Major League Baseball deal and any such deal would likely have to be approved by voters.
