920 wordsRead More - Abstract: The Stadium construction boom continues, and taxpayers are being forced to pay for new high tech stadiums they don’t want. These new stadiums create only part-time jobs. Stadiums bring money in exclusively for professional leagues and not the communities. The teams are turning public money into private profit. Professional leagues are becoming extremely wealthy at the taxpayers expense. The publicly-funded stadium obsession must be put to a stop before athletes and coaches become even greedier. New stadiums being built hurt public schools, and send a message to children that leisure activities are more important than basic education. Public money needs to be used to for more important services that would benefit the local economy. Stadiums do not help the economy or save struggling towns. There are no net benefits from single purpose stadiums, and therefore the stadium obsessions must be put to a stop.

That means the over $3000 in spending really amounts to around $300 in tax revenue” (Dorfman, 2015). So while the fan may bring an economic boost to local businesses, the tax revenue is not near enough to justify using public funds to help finance the new stadium. Also by attending the game, it takes money that would be spent at other local activities and uses them at the game. For example when a fan buys a ticket of $400 to see a NFL game, that’s $400 not going to the local restaurants, Movie Theater, and amusement parks. This is called the substitution effect and it simply states that by spending money on a new activity in the community just means that’s your money is going from one local entity to another, which brings no new tax revenue to the local economy. Overall Dorfman does not believe that local governments should use public funds to finance luxurious
