[Mpls] stadia

[James E Jacobsen]

Is there an anti-professional sports mentality out there?          I rarely attend games, though I don't mind that the professional sports brings nine figure money into the city every year, providing huge tax revenues and providing employment to thousands in hotels and restaurants etc.               Both stadium constructions would be funded with bond issues and the bonding can and would be set up so that only stadium revenues and attendent tax revenues are used to retire the bonds, no property tax and etc involved.           Being set up for the teams the past 37 years, with hotel, cafe facilities, stores and the endless parking ramps, if the stadiums don't get built the area would be suffer economic attrition.          James E Jacobsen         Whittier
