My two questions I would be answering today are, what are the benefits to a town of building a new stadium? And do the benefits of the government building a new stadium overweigh the costs?

First I would like to start off answering the question with what are the benefits to a town of building a new stadium? Building a new stadium in the United States would encourage more people to come out to the stadium. It could also bring long lost friends together. Also building new stadium would benefit a lot by having new people around the world wanting to cross the border line just to come see the new stadium that have been built . Because they won’t have to worry about being crowed if the stadiums are improved.

Yes, because building a new stadium would cost of lot of money. And the government just can’t spend money on the new stadiums to get built when it other thing that need to be worked on also. Building new stadiums would cost over thousands of dollars while that money could be going towards something that more useful like building a hospital or something. And it could also affect the government cost by building the new stadiums and possibly over drafting from the government account due to all the money that has to spend in order to get the stadium built and to have them looking decent enough to present to people coming to visit. Building new stadiums could be good in one way because the people that’s looking for work can help them build the stadiums and have them a part time job until it’s all finished. Also the government should do researches on how they could build the stadiums without spending too much money. I also read an article on line that states cites have to pay for the expenses to get the stadium built.” Which meaning no matter if the government don’t want to pay all of the expenses they are still forced to pay for it that’s the rule for all cities and

    David Pryor knew he was beat. He knew it from the start, but he spoke from his heart, picked up support from Cliff Gibson, but they went down strongly but quietly Thursday as the University of Arkansas board of trustees voted 8-2 for a $160 million expansion to Reynolds Razorback Stadium. It wasn't denied the project most likely will be more in the neighborhood of $200 million when completed. Before doing the math, which shows that is more than $60,000 for each of the proposed 3,000-plus additional seats -- all in luxury suites most of us will only see through binoculars -- understand a big part of that money is for the new athletic facility that will have underground parking so, as one former trustee said, it will keep the administration from…

    Introduction Detroit, Michigan is a unique city boasting of an iconic past, a gloomy present, and a potentially bright future. Once one of America’s largest and most thriving cities because of professional opportunities in the automotive industry, Detroit fell to devastating lows after the loss of thousands of jobs from Ford Motor, General Motors, and Chrysler. Detroit is the 18th overall most populated city in the United States, the largest city in the State of Michigan, and recently became the largest American city to file for bankruptcy. Though the city currently faces a laundry list of problems, I believe that Detroit is fully capable of hosting a successful Olympic Game years from now that could help change the overall condition of the…

    A commonality throughout professional football is that teams and their owners love new and enormous stadiums. In the 1950’s and the early days of professional football, stadiums were privately owned playing facilities designed to stay away from public finance (Swindell, Rosentraub, 1998, p. 11). Soon enough, with the growth in popularity of football, it became more common for teams to utilize resources of the state and local government and build publicly funded facilities (Swindell, Rosentraub, 1998, p. 11). NFL Teams can now “convince” the public to pay for the multi-million dollar facilities that they want even though it could have a negative impact on the community. Owners can do this by threatening to leave, expressing economic potential, and promoting the effects on team performance.…

It will analyse property values from other areas and compare them with values after a stadium has been built in that area.

The impact of economic and social factors of a new stadium build in Kingsford is currently being debated, with Aberdeen City Council making a decision in the near future on whether to allow the construction to go forward or not.…

    One major problem with Anderson is the topic, but the name Anderson has a pathetic representation, and an egregious background that causes people to comprehend Anderson negatively before they even witness it. Anderson was previously a place where sports were immense and there were plenty of jobs. Anderson is losing jobs and the school is without the equipment to be a contender in any of our sports. Ways to improve our community can be bringing in new store, purchasing new equipment, and keeping a positive morale.
