Over the last 20 years Cincinnati's become revitalized IMO. While I don't pretend to know the ins-and-outs of Cincinnati and Hamilton County politics, from the outside looking in on the Kentucky side of the river it kind of looks like what they've done has been working (outside of losing the Promowest music venue to Newport). Hell, even Kentucky's riverfront (Covington/Newport/Bellevue) have cleaned up in that timespan.

I definitely think that putting a new stadium in a city leads to a revitalization of that area that results in millions of dollars being spent in that area too. It's just who's pockets does that money go in?

So you buy a stadium with public funds and the results go in private pockets. In general.
