From the Paper:

"All over the country sports teams are lobbying local governments and their constituents for tax dollars to build new stadiums. In return, the owners are promising better teams and additional revenue for the city based on higher ticket sales by bringing a championship to town. This issue has been hotly debated with no overwhelming conclusion that the stadiums benefit a community in any way. But does this mean we should not build new stadiums? The problem is that professional sports have become very big business, with the costs of franchises increasing and a corresponding need to position a team in a stadium that is state-of-the-art in terms of size, amenities, and profit maximization via skybox sales.
