You’re right trailerpark badass - that’s liberal elite ‘logic’... to “revitalize” inner city crime ridden neighborhoods with stadiums. That ‘solution’ works in the make-believe world of the clueless white liberal elite.
The world where ‘intentions’ trump reality.
Why build stadiums in inner city black hellholes? What’s the logic?
If the land is cheap - but half the people who might attend stay home out of fear - it’s a bad economic choice.
My guess is someone (or a government group) is ‘sweetening’ the pot by offsetting costs - making it cheaper to build the stadium IF it’s built in a crime ridden black neighborhood.
Who wins?
The usual vile suspects win - - unions, Team owners (they don’t care who shows up because the big money is made selling broadcast rights), black self-appointed ‘leaders’ (ever wonder why there are no self-appointed leaders of other races?? I know...), and white liberal elites.
The people who lose are blacks who live in that community (extra traffic, noise, trash on the streets - with no offsetting benefits - really - how many lower class families can spend $300 for a night out with the kids?). Also middle class people of all races lose - people who might want to attend stadium events - - but are afraid of venturing into black inner city hellholes... and yeah - that includes black middle class families.
That’s why the Atlanta Braves risked the “loss of prestige” (lol) of not having an intown stadium to build one out closer to the northern suburbs, where the bulk of their fan base resides. They weren’t subject to the multi-tens of millions of dollars shakedown from the black “leadership,” and their fans could enjoy a game experience other than getting in their cars and leaving as fast as possible.
