One interesting thing about building stadiums. The ownership group of the Kansas City Current, a women’s professional soccer team in the NWSL, privately financed the $117 million cost to build CPKC stadium on the riverfront in downtown Kansas City, Missouri. They sold the naming rights to Canadian Pacific Railroad to recoup some costs.It’s relatively small with a capacity of 11,500, but this ownership group decided to privately finance the stadium themselves instead of asking local taxpayers to foot the bill. No reason other sports franchises can’t do the same.With as much money as MLB, the NFL, NBA and NHL have, they should be a major contributor in financing new stadiums and should willingly help finance new arenas and stadiums when necessary. There is no good reason local taxpayers should have to bear the majority of the building costs.
I wonder what discredited school actually thought she was competent enough to pass the bar? How the hell did she ever graduate from law school?Did she get her degree from tRump U?
Jackson County taxpayers paid to build the Truman sports complex over 50 years ago. They again paid to have the stadiums upgraded in 2010. Jackson County taxpayers paid the full cost again because other counties in the metropolitan area refused to help pay for the renovations. When Johnson County, Kansas pays their fair share of the costs, I’ll vote yes.
As much money as MLB and the NFL make, they should pay at least 50% of the costs of building new stadiums. Owners pay 40%. The other 10% could be from the city, county, and state.Same goes for the NBA, NHL and any other sport needing an arena.
Stab him in the toe. Then run like crazy.
