We have a fundamental question about this thing.
The Milwaukee Brewers tell us that they have to spend around $400-$500 million dollars to 'upgrade' the stadium to 'keep up with improvements' made by OTHER teams at their stadiums. This will 'enhance the baseball experience.'
That's why it's "required", and that's why State taxpayers have to cough up $300-$400 million. To 'enhance the baseball experience.' Ummmn--hmmmm.
What 'experience' will be 'enhanced'?
...replacing the stadium's glass panels beyond the outfield, seat replacements, suite upgrades, retail space improvements and concourse replacements.
That recommended work has a focus on creating new spaces for groups to congregate with additional kitchens to support those spaces.
The fundamental question:
If 'other stadiums' already have those amenities and those amenities are so damned important, why can't fans go there? Chicago is only an hour or two south. Minneapolis is only 4 hours northwest.
Another way to phrase it: the 'enhancements' are totally unnecessary. The Brewers have a captive audience. Want to see the Brewers? Come to AmFam just as it is.
Otherwise, go elsewhere. Don't let the door hit you in the ass.
Sucking on the Taxpayer Tit IS the business model.
ReplyDeleteIf you don't want to pay for crying whining over payed self absorbed Prima Donnas,

Let the remaining taxpayers who go along with raping get financially raped good and hard its the only way they can learn,,,, well maybe...
