“They’ll raise the prices. $500 for seat in the new stadium?”
And people will pay it. That’s the problem.
As for the “diversity” to garnishing money to pay for it, it is no different than a singing group or a rodeo. They play to where the money is going to come from. Don’t expect a string quartet at a rodeo playing Mozart. On the same note you wouldn’t expect many night club comedy performers to use the material they use in night clubs on television. They play to an audience. And if the audience is willing to pay the price, they’ll charge it. That’s entertainment. And it just so happens that professional sports entertainment works at a different level.
Ever heard of a cheap major university? They charge exuberent prices to “educate” students who in most cases don’t have enough money to buy lunch. But people are stepping over others to get in there. It all has to do with the piece of the pie. If the pie is good, the public supplies another pie. If it isn’t, they serve cupcakes and figure out ways to broaden their offer like free coffee.
But diversity comes with a price. Diversity is the recognition of differences. Improperly handled, that turns into mistrust and hatred through idiots that make it so. That’s how our politicians work now. Heard much about what Biden is going to do for you in the next term except get Trump? If Trump died tomorrow, the libs wouldn’t be able to make a sound. That and the fact that their policies are destructive and it isn’t wise to advertise harm. Won’t sell very much.

So far. Yes.
But all the stadiums are getting replaced right now. You have enough wealthy people in LA and NYC to pay $500 per seat.
But for cities like Buffalo, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Kansas City? Probably not. They will all get new stadiums or get we extensive renovations in the next 10 years.
Maybe they'll relocate.
I'm still not sure why so many people can't see that professional sports are not real. I mean, they hid it pretty well until about the time Obama took office, but anyone paying attention today can see that they are watching WWE-class "entertainment products" and not athletic competitions.
