Here is a link to a study that talks about the importance of physical activity to the mental well being of female athletes. This probably also applies to males. http://education.umn.edu/tuckercenter/pcpfs/default.html
While not a sports fan myself, I do believe there is a connection between physical activity and mental acuity, and also between extracurricular activities and academic success. Just something to think about for K12 and higher education. I am not taking a side here, except for DeLaSalle. I just know there is a lot of anti-stadium fervor out there and I thought more information may be of interest.
