Are stadiums good for you?
Article Abstract:
Critics argue that major sports stadiums did not help cities economically, but there has been a trend toward approving stadiums with support from public funds, after a period when they were rejected. Critics argued that stadium projects should include wider development projects, but it is unclear whether new projects, which include retail and office development, will greatly benefit cities. Team owners have gained access to public funds through these projects.
