That’s happening in my town. Our new liberal mayor wants to spend TWO BILLION DOLLARS on a domed stadium to replace the open stadium our nfl team uses that was built in 1995.

Lambeau field in Green Bay is 66+ years old and I don’t hear those people crying about needing a domed stadium......know why? The people of Green Bay own it and know better than to piss money away on a new venue.

What we have here, is another lib wanting to spend everybody else’s money.

They're only going to host the Super Bowl on a rotation. That's Miami, Los Angeles, New Orleans and Las Vegas.

They might give it to you once after you get the Dome built but you'll never see the Super Bowl again.

These stadium deals have nothing to do with sports anymore. Now, they are typically just the centerpieces of large real estate development and redevelopment projects.

Green Bay doesn't need a new stadium because it's not a major metropolitan area looking to revive a downtown area or build a massive new suburban commercial and entertainment complex.
