I agree that it’s good business for the team. But it’s horribly unfair to taxpayers many of whom can’t even afford to go to the games. Around here the argument that “the whole county benefits from the money the team brings in” is laughable.
Except it’s the taxpayers who keep voting these guys in. And in Cleveland’s case voting them out when they committed the grand crime of “losing the team”.
Just look at the cost of the new supersized water and sewer mains, paid for by the taxpayers.
Well over 1000 restroom fixtures... and they all have to flush at once.
A new 18” - 24” water main going back to the source...$$$
And so much more!!
