I applaud what Washington DC is doing in regards to MLB. Is it really so unreasonable to ask the team to pay for half of the stadium costs? Who gets the benefits from a new stadium. I do believe it's the team. Why shouldn't they have to pay for half of it?
This whole argument irritates me greatly. Why should taxpayers pay for new stadiums at all? If they do pay, then they should get some of the freaking revenue. I understand the whole argument of "well a new stadium brings new people, which brings in new businesses, which makes more money for everyone." Well that doesn't always pan out. Look at Detroit. Do you think the area around Comerica is thriving? I sure don't. It looks to be as dead and run down as it has always been.
