Absolutely, Eva, regarding getting businesses to help out the new stadium fans.
I will continue to oppose one cent of my tax dollar going to build a new stadium. If I trusted the folks who will build this structure (and I've no doubt they will; reminds me of a 4-year-old pestering pestering until the parent throws up his/her hands and gives in), I wouldn't be so ornery about it. But frankly, I agree with Eva that the sports venue is being aimed at sports fans but cultivated for the luxury box business fans; further, give a developer or contractor or legislator a dime and they'll take a dollar for themselves and a few more for their friends. And finally, I really hate the idea of a stadium being right smack downtown. Brings in a lot of beer money to liquor estabishments/restaurants, true; and a whole lot of that car traffic we have so many problems with. Wish supporters would drum up some support in the business and sports community and leave the rest of us alone. Isn't their a Minneapolis statium or sports forum on the internet?
