    But the stadium will bring so much economic benefit to the city! Well get at least 4 new fast food restaurants hiring only minimum wage workers, and a small boost in hotel revenue!

    Transit won’t bring any return on investment. Only poor people use transit and they don’t have any money. And if someone who has a car does use transit that’s hurting the economy! Think of the poor gas station owners and car dealers!

      This is actually pretty accurate to how big oil, auto manufacturers and sports owners who are friends could operate.

      Don’t forget the companies that clean up mess and repair damages that sports fans make. They need some love (and loads of money) too.

      And people think that we are going to run out of fossil fuel or something. I guess they don’t know that dinosaurs die every day and we can collect the fossil fuel from them?

      I live in Bristol. Our two nearest arenas which can host large (10,000+ capacity) concerts are in Cardiff and Birmingham.

      We are the only major city in England that lacks an arena. And our council is far more concerned with letting property developers flood the market with luxury office blocks and student apartments.
