I live in LA county where we don’t even have a NFL franchise.
Naw, I don’t care for government use of eminent domain to make stadiums. LA has an Olympic stadium, the Rose Bowl, and the stadium used by the former Irvin Raiders. I think it is bad policy. If it makes sense to build a stadium, the private sector can buy the land. In most cases it makes sense to lease an existing stadium such as that available at the numerous colleges. Heck, as a policy matter, I don’t think that government high schools, government/state colleges should have football teams. There goes Nebraska, Oklahoma, OSU, (Beat) Cal, Penn, etc. And imagine: I used to live in Sealy Tx!
In general, as a legal matter, State governments are not limited to enumerated powers, unless that unusual provision is in the state constitution, or there is a limitation to the state constitution such as that in Article 4 of the federal constitution, or federal Amendment 2 as applied to the states by the 14th Amendment.
It’s still crony capitalism, just like Solyndra and ethanol, and far too many conservatives, including and especially Rush Limbaugh, turn a blind eye to it.
