Exactly. See what happens when the taxpayers have the say?

Money doesn’t get pissed away.

This new stadium thing is going on in my town. The city wanted to hang ONE BILLION dollars on the taxpayers but got do much pushback they went to plan B which is a ridiculously expensive renovation.

And people like me that probably will never set foot in the place have to foot the bill.

Ticks me off to no end

Lambeau gets remodeled all the time, one just finished last year, and while they do make the team pay some, it’s still mostly done with taxes.

What i noticed, the new stadiums are not bigger than the old ones. They are not even too much an upgrade.
They do not care about an average Joe Shmo
What they do, is putting in there million dollars suites, so the corporate honchos can entertain their customers and other VIP. They have VIP services and pay huge money for getting these services.

For our money, the honchos get their VIP treatment.

I am wondering, if in the next generation of stadiums, they will get rid of all individual seats, and all those annoying Joes, and just make stadium consisting out of corporate suites only! I am sure they would love to do it.
