Haha, it's all good. I just noticed this had fallen off the table, especially with all the confirmation hearings out.

I support the amendment, since it reflects what I said previously. If I mistaken in that, forgive me for I can barely see right now. Wink

Does the fed government even contribute to stadiums? Usually it's a mix between private and state or city public funds via a tax if a referendum is passed.

I've stayed out of this heretofore because it's been like, "Ehh, I'm missing something."

I have it.

As to the original proposal. . . Uh, purchasing every professional sports team and their stadiums and then turning them over to local authorities? [Cough, choke, ahem]. Does anyone have any idea what that would cost? (IRL look at the The Yankees, The Patriots, the Redskins, the Steelers. . . and I've just begun). Aaaaah! Haha. Don't think that will work. Ain't signin' that check, fellas. Tongue Not unless I'm missing something.

Could it be possible to encourage or provide incentives for local municipalities to purchase franchises? My guess is the goal here is to turn everyone into the Green Bay Packers, which is very noble, but I don't know that we can legislate or afford that. I'm open to suggestions, though. The case of the Packers was also a very unique situation. They were in really dire financial straits and facing some kind of legal action, so the city of GB saved them, basically.

I'm also not sure how all of this would impact TV deals.

Does the fed government even contribute to stadiums?

No.

Way back the Washington Redskins may have had federal help, but that was unique, of course.

Usually it's a mix between private and state or city public funds via a tax if a referendum is passed.

Yeah.

Rather pointless since according to earlier laws, but we shouldn't if we are and to be safe. I wonder what is more conversative to emphasize the funding and seek to prohibit its use or to avoid the unnecessary statute? Tongue
