Public Financing of Sports Stadiums “Never support public financing of a sports stadium. You as a taxpayer are virtually guaranteed to lose that game.” Over the past few decades, the debate over whether or not sports stadiums should be publically financed has caught more attention with tax payers.

The public should not provide financial support of sports stadiums because they have little local impact, provide subsidies to already rich team owners, are not always long term and overall are poor investments. Local Economic Impact In the debate for public financing of sports stadiums, it has been argued whether or not stadiums provide…

Should the public be responsible for the cost of a new stadium in their city? It is a major question in today's society. In an article on pbs.org it states since the 1960’s, 91 sports stadiums have been built with public funding, 22 of them being fully paid for by the public (Elaine S. Povich). Instead of having the franchise owner fund these stadiums, which seems very reasonable considering they own the team, the public spends their money on these enormous stadiums. Football stadiums…

Americans already living in America. A similar situation occurred with beloved Dodger Stadium. Home to many championships, and Hall of Famers, Dodger Stadium has become one of the best-known baseball parks in the nation due to it being the third oldest ball. It is home to the Major League Baseball team The Los Angeles Dodgers, who once played in Brooklyn Dodgers.

With a background that includes swaying palm trees and the San Gabriel Mountains there is no other ballpark that you could be at other than Dodger Stadium. It’s the third oldest ballpark behind Fenway Park and Wrigley Field, but Dodger Stadium looks as if it is one of the newest stadiums in baseball while keeping its classic charm. Dodger Stadium was originally to open in 1961 but landslides and lawsuits delayed construction by a year. On April 10, 1962 the Los Angeles Dodgers played their…

I am overcome by the memories of coming to the ballpark as a kid. I take my lap around the entire stadium. It is very dimly lit in the tunnel around the field. Thousands of people are flying by. As they pass it seems everyone has something different. I see an ice cream sundae, that was made in a baseball helmet. There is so much ice cream, an enormous amount of peanuts, and a mountain size pile of whipped cream so high that it seems taller and heavier than a small child. I look along the walls…

thoughts on the second half of the game. However, despite the second half disappointment, the trip was a success. Not only did my grandson who is a big LSU fan get to see the campus and attend a game in Tiger Stadium, I had a whole day and night to pick on and aggravate my beautiful granddaughter. Life does not get much better than that! Our seats in the stadium were located just above cloud level. My acrophobia, which usually kicks into high gear on the first wrung of a ladder, never…
