Surely, they think, if we had a big, fancy, shiny stadium, we would reap that economic bounty. The icing on the cake was the $23 million pedestrian bridge that was "deemed a security risk and...closed to everyone except credentialed staff and media." $23 million for a bridge people could only use in one direction on the day of the Big Game is a lot of money, though. Third, there's a redistributive effect from the city to the people who hold money. Our cities' leaders would do far more good for us if they said "no" to stadium subsidies and "yes" to money fires.
