Disposable taxpayer resources.

They are probably still paying for the recently demolished stadium.

Here in Pittsburgh we imploded Three Rivers Stadium after 30 years (and owed more money on it than we did the day that it opened).

Sorry to have to break this to you, but unless your washer/dryer is over 30 years old, it was designed for a 7 to 10 year lifespan.

Really. My family has been in the repair biz for 45 years. Little is designed for longevity anymore, because you don’t make money selling product that lasts.

the falcons imploded that place years ago.

Ha ha true. But it was a perfectly acceptable facility.

Silverdome is next, by this same firm(according to wiki).

The Pontiac Silverdome...the Generalissimo Francisco Franco of abandoned stadiums.

"Jesuit-bankster cronies"

I'm no fan of what the Jesuits have become, but what do they have to do with financing football stadiums?

At least the Los Angeles area sports venues seem to last:

Memorial Coliseum (1923)
Dodger Stadium (1962)
Angel Stadium (1966)
Rose Bowl (1922)

Even the Sports Arena lasted 57 years.

Like I said - ask Governor Chickenlooper’s cronies how that gravy train runs.

Dodger Stadium is the third oldest in MLB after Wrigley and Fenway. Seems impossible to believe.

That thing collapsed faster than the Falcons did in last year’s Super Bowl.

I've always been the "Mr Fixit" in my Family and for friends & neighbors and always enjoyed it.

I ran a 'West Coast Video' store and had a side gig doing repairs - saw the shift from repairable to replaceable in real time with VCR's.

I have a higher-end oven, replaced the controller board once (issue with the triplex from the pole, blew a number of things). Few years later, baker element wouldn't heat, ID'd the issue (poor workmanship/component on the replacement board). The controller board was no longer available, anywhere.

Ended up finding a suitable relay in my "stuff that I can't get rid of because I may need it someday" pile.

Is the Silverdome still standing? The fabric roof has been gone for years. Some Canadian picked it up in a bankruptcy auction for $500K.

I was only half serious. My point is, a structure built with taxpayer money should probably be expected to last longer than a spring flower.

Just look for the trail of BS dribbling down from the Jesuit-indoctrinated M.B.A's leading the cube-herd, Regis.

Several hundred million, to be paid by Atlanta residents and visitors (hotel tax).

What a waste of money

I presume the tax slaves are still on the hook for a lot of the original cost.
