The players make enough money that they can build their play pens with their own money.
It was primarily the Royals plan that sunk it. Lots of backlash from the downtown small business community.
The NFL needs some humbling and some serious spiritual guidance.
It is a shame that businesses of that valuation are unable to build their own physical operation facility. /s
Bills boast 4 AFC East titles, but does that justify taxpayers footing bill for stadium?
The Buffalo Bills are set to open their new stadium in 2026, and taxpayers are footing $850 million of that construction bill...
We didn't get a say on that.
If a normal fan can’t afford a ticket to a game, and the NFL eventually goes 100% streaming for all games, what good is a new stadium going to do for any location?
No taxpayer money should be used to build these playpens...
Welfare for Billionaires.
The sales tax in Kansas City, MO is already nearly 10% and the crime and poverty is rampant with a woke mayor. The concept of moving the Royals stadium to the Crossroad is idiotic, there is no room there and it is crowded and inconvenient. Kaufman Stadium is beautiful and the parking is plentiful. The only reason to build a new stadium at the Crossroads is so someone or some consortium can profit off the corruption and graft any construction project in KCMO generates. So find out who is promoting this dimwitted idea and see why.
As for Arrowhead, why should there be public investment into this beautiful and famous stadium and then private profit to the Hunt family and the NFL? The Chiefs need to stay at Arrowhead and the Hunt family and the NFL need to invest what they need to invest in order to keep the famous stadium up. Already an ordinary Joe has to spend upwards of 2K to take his wife and kids to a game.
Just have the players pay their “fair share”, like 50% of their salaries annually to defray the costs.
Good.
Oh no, the poor billionaire !
Other billionaire will laugh , he will feel less of a billionaire now.
These are fabulously wealthy businesses, they can do what any other business does, go borrow the money for their infrastructure.
Instead the team owner play political blackmail with the cities, in order to get taxpayer assistance to keep them while they alos seek taxpayer assistance somewhere else they could move to. All major U.S. cities should sing pacts to not participate in the blackmail.
I’ve heard they may move the teams to Kansas City, Kansas. If the teams move across the state line, then Kansas City, Kansas should place a special tax on all the out of state season tickets holders coming to the games.
Billionaire owners should pay for their own stadiums.
