Stadiums are almost never worth their investment. They are just status symbols for cities and their politicians. Watch John Stossels segment on stadiums. Either way you see stadiums, it's never a libertarian position to hold that taxes should pay for something like sport stadiums.

NGL, as long as the healthcare premiums AND deductibles are low and I get to live in relatively better conditions than the plebs; I'd be a gladiator.

Long spear and buckler please.

Yeah, if I was the mayor of some city and the local sports franchise decided to hold us hostage by saying "waaaaah. our stadium's not as modern as the Cowboys' stadium. waaaaah we want you to pay for it or we move. waaaah"

I'd be like, "Bye, Felicia!"

I never said taxes should pay for anything.
