Persuasive Essay On Public Vs Private Stadiums

256 Words2 Pages

After our discussion in class regarding public vs. private stadium funding I would still choose private funding. Even though, the public side made a fine argument I believe the benefits of private funding greatly outweigh the benefits of public funding. When stadiums are privately funded the owners of the franchise have greater control over the stadium. The owner is able to design the stadium the way he wants. He has the final say over how many club and premium seating options there will be, who will design the stadium, if it will be multipurpose, the owner of a privately funded stadium gets control and that is what sport franchise owners want. Not only does the owner get to design the stadium, but also he and his team get to collect the

  • 'A Rhetorical Analysis Of The Atlantic'

    279 Words  | 2 Pages

    My first topic/ issue is with the NFL and their team owners; the basic idea of this issue is how the NFL swindles the state and the taxpayers to buy them new things while on the other side the tax payers get bent over. In this article from “the Atlantic” it says how the Seahawks built a new stadium and the cost 560 million, 390 million which was tax payers money. They only pay 1 million for rent while the rest is just a profit to the team and the owners, the tax payers are paying a lot of money to build a new stadium while a lot of it is just going back into a billionaires pocket (Paul Allen). I don 't like it, I think paying guys millions to play football and act like idiots most of the time is ridiculous. Most of these guys are very uneducated

  • Summary Of Six Lies About The Marlins Stadiums By Elfrink

    This week’s article, “Six Lies about the Marlins Stadiums,” by Elfrink unveils that the Marlins stadium used the taxpayers’ money unwisely. Simply maintaining this stadium costs more than what the Marlins stadium brings in. Thus, the Marlins Stadium has a low gross income, which is very problematic for the taxpayers, since they might be a certain way of using their money for that. According to Jordan Rappaport and Chad Wilkerson in the article, “What Are the Benefits of Hosting a Major League Sports Franchise?”

    I feel there should have been more private investments, and that way, the city wouldn't be holding the debt of something that hasn't made good on the return. Proponents of public financing of stadium and arena construction often make the argument that the facilities will be literally “self-financing.” The way the facilities will become “self-financing” is by generating thousands of jobs, increasing tourism, and providing an even better experience for fans attending the games. If a city is interested in “re-developing” a certain area, stadiums and arenas are seen as a possible catalyst for the intended rejuvenation. Stadiums are massive projects that can transform the landscape of a city practically overnight and perhaps put the city on the map nationally.

    Louis offers the opportunity to build a state-of-the-art stadium in place of the Edward Jones Dome, there is no reason why the Rams should be chosen as a team to move to Los Angeles. Stan Kroenke, sports mogul and current owner of the St. Louis Rams, has pitched a self-financed, two billion dollar stadium in Inglewood, CA to be the new site of a Los Angeles Rams franchise (Brandt, 2015). In contrast, Kroenke has made no such offer to the city of St. Louis. The Edward Jones Dome is known as one of the NFL’s worst facilities, despite the fact that it is only twenty years old. However, in contrast to San Diego and Oakland, the city of St. Louis has shown its strong desire and commitment to keep the franchise by pitching a one billion dollar stadium to keep ahold of the Rams.

    The subsidy starts with the federal government, which allows state and local governments to issue tax-exempt bonds to help finance sports facilities.

    American football is a highly profitable sporting spectacle whether its at the collegiate or professional level. I cannot disagree that football does not boost the American economy. I don’t agree that the players participating at their own risk for future benefit don’t get paid while playing such a dangerous sport. Another issue I have with organized football that almond touches on, is the mass wasting of resources in institutions around the country like the universities in the S.E.C. When looking at the massive increase in top football programs salaries around the nation one has to wonder why some of those money cant go to the players, or why it isn’t funneled into educational purposes for the universities?

    Especially if the team is good then the games will sell out almost every game. For example Alabama crimson tide bring 28 million dollars in ticket sales in 2008. They play in the same uniforms and don 't make that much upgrades to the program so where does that money go? The college uses that money on pointless things.

    To begin with, Salzberg makes a seemly unresearched claim, he claims that  “Our universities are providing a free training ground for the super-wealthy owners of professional football teams, while getting little in return”(Salzberg 1). In this quote, he states that universities get little in return, but if one does a little research, the reader can see universities receive a great amount of benefits. For example, colleges can receive money from games in their stadiums whether they win or lose from tickets, concussions, players, and etc. The sports department is a big money makers in universities, not to mention colleges can also can gain publicity, if a player gets famous off the college’s team.

    There has been much evidence showing that after the construction of a stadium here is still more money spent to operate the stadium according too, “Lease terms tend to benefit team owners and cost the public money additional taxes were often needed to offset the operating costs” (Lou). This supports the claim and shows that more tax money is needed to maintain operating a stadium. “Who pays for the police to patrol the stadium? Sounds like the use of more taxpayer funds to me” (Moore). This gives more evidence on how more tax money is used to fund the stadiums after being built to run and operate the stadium.
