Quote: A recent literature review surveyed the past 50 years of stadium construction. The authors found that the promised tangible economic benefits—economic growth, income growth, wage growth, employment growth, and higher tax revenues—do not occur the way that sports teams claim. Often, the only economic benefits occur near the stadium—and fall far short of expectations. State and city governments are subsidizing development within a single neighborhood, with no tangible benefits for the rest of the city or state.
Hamilton County should be asking Katie for the hometown discount for tax payer dollars.
Personally, I wouldn’t give a billionaire a cent of tax payer money to build them a stadium. They can raise their own funds.
