Here in Seattle, we only just within the last couple of weeks paid off the Kingome, built in the mid-1970s and demolished in 2000....

That said, best of luck to Walker on this new plan...

Yup. They’re often based on very dubious economics; namely, that the money spent on tickets, food, drinks, etc. will not come at the expense of another local establishment. People don’t magically get more discretionary income just because a stadium is built.

Especially anything associated with the Bucks. Seriously, who wants to go to Milwaukee for anything?
