Hey Cleetus....
Do you have any input on this?
Stadium
Or are you not in that part of Texas?
Just curious.

Why should taxpayers pay the bill to build a playground for millionaires who are being paid by million/billionaires so they can invite other millionaires to come play with them?

Hmm,.. good point. I never thought about it that way. Why don't they just build their own damn stadium?

Exactly.
But what happens, and you see it all the time, the owners of pro sports franchises hold the cities hostage. All they have to do is threaten to move their team to another city/state, and usually the city caves. It's unfortunate, but it's reality.

Cuz that cuts into their profit.
650 million dollars is a lot of money and could certainly be better spent elsewhere. What normal person can even afford to go to a football game anymore anyways?

Too true. Going to the game with the wife will set you back nearly $150.

Nope, that is up in Dallas. Really don't like the idea of it being in Arlington. The location they are at right now is prime, with multiple highways all converging.
