All we got for it is two losing teams and a tax bill from subsidizing the team owners, plus stadium seats that only the wealthiest among us can afford to sit in.

Guess what? Part one may not come true for you. But the second and third parts will.

That's why voters in several cities have vetoed tax subsidies for owners to buy or renovate stadiums. Good luck. I'm glad they ain't wanting to move to N.J.
