Root, Root, Pay for the Home Team? Taxpayers Funding Professional Sports Stadiums Kayla Thompson MBA 578 SB FT Managerial Economics April 13, 2013 ABSTRACT The purpose of this paper is to address the issue of the public (taxpayers) funding the construction and/or renovation of privately owned sports stadiums. The use of public funds has skyrocketed since the early 1980s. Why has there been an increase in the trend and what is really going on behind the scenes? Through my research, I

INTRODUCTION Baseball ballpark owners owe a duty of care to spectators who attend games their stadiums. Historically, there has been a devotion to the “baseball rule”, which is essentially a tool of public policy used to protect stadium owners. However, there is very little consensus on what exactly the rule entails and how it is applied across all jurisdictions. While this rule is justified based on a limited amount of data, Gallatin legislature should either reshape it to better reflect modern

Sports Stadiums: Turning Public Money into Private Profit       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

The Effects of Sports Teams and Stadiums on Cities What if a tax increase came to a city because of a sports team, would it be alright? Of course not, right? Well, consider being told as a tax payer and being told it will help the economy of city to build a stadium. However, a tax increase is never highly looked upon, and large companies sell extraordinary economic growth, and cannot produce the promise.

As I am driving near the Southwest University Park in downtown El Paso I can feel the excitement through my veins, I hear the crowd cheering and screaming as the game is about to start. The smell of nachos and popcorn makes me hungry similarly when you pass by food places and the smell is so strong outside, you just want to stop by and eat the entire place. I look at all the people with their black and red Chihuahua’s jerseys as they enter the stadium and I can feel the El Paso spirit again like

In the movie Finding Forrester, the amount of trust in someone can be shown upon how good of a relationship one has with another. Jamal, a high school student, secretly has a passion for writing. Dared by friends, Jamal sneaks into an apartment and accidentally forgets his book bag. When he returns to the apartment the next day, he not only finds numerous edits within his writings, but he also figures the mystery of who lives in the apartment. Jamal finds out that a guy by the name of William Forrester

As you walk through the front gates of the park you are astounded by the different sights and smells of Huntington Park. As you walk down the tunnel underneath the stadium approaching the dugout your stomach begins to get butterflies in it as everything seems so surreal. The smell of the fresh cut grass in the spring time, the roar of the fans as you walk up the steps of the dugout onto the playing surface and the view of the beautiful field with the Columbus skyline in the background. Huntington

My Black heels sunk into the turf as I walked down center field, a crowd of 6,000 overflowed the aluminum bleachers towering before me. Pungent flowers of bright blue and gold are cradled in my arms, and an itchy vibrant blue sash is placed over my head. “Homecoming Princess 2013” is scrawled across in elegant cursive that shimmered beneath the blinding stadium lights. “Sophomore princess, Brianna Moynihan” echoed over the speakers; every teenage girl’s dream had become my reality.

Timeline All efforts would be made do the renovations as to not disrupt the competition seasons of the football, baseball, and track seasons. We are confident the work could be done over a summer (starting post Memorial Day), as the surface and track will be untouched throughout the renovation. However, the football field would need to be ready by the first game (mid-August) the following year. If construction must start earlier, the track program will simply not host track meets for a season. The
