Bread & Circus!
Everyone often bleats out "bread and circuses" at everything but I think this is one area where that actually applies. It wins you votes to keep the city-branded circus in town even if it means kowtowing to billionaire team owner whims.
Is this meme reporting live from Las Vegas, Nevada?
Because putting a stupid underground concrete bendy-straw full of manual-driving Teslas instead of...a subway system, and building like 8 more stadiums that shut down traffic and give us nothing but $600 concert tickets on Ticketmaster ....is totally this city's jam right now.
Hobart represents!
I wish my city council would spend money on a stadium...
OKC right now
The OKC deal is actually a pretty square deal. The team is putting up 50m and the city is putting up another 70m, but the city retains ownership and use over the property. The funding is also coming from extending a 1% sales tax weve already been paying for the last 5 years.
It's not what I would prioritize, but at least we're actually going to keep the infrastructure we're paying for.
