Ror, pro sports stadiums do have political implications. They are high profile and big money.
Everytime the plans for a new stadium come up here, all the big politicos come out of the woodwork:
"Oh, you can't take money from the schools."
"The new stadium will bring jobs and tax dollars."
It doesn't matter how much of this is true, its all about image. Remember, we are talking about politicians. Thats their main concern, how they look.

Apparently you were not aware that some of our nations most affluent attend live sports event, like Jack Nicholson and Spike Lee for instance. Even without them you have organizations like the PBFA - Professional Baseball Fans Association - comprised of those whom, while not as rich as Mr Nicholson, are still wealthy enough to purchase season tickets and memorabelia as well as throw down seven dollars for watered down beer, let alone the average income suburbanite's who fill the majority of seats.

Thats nothing compared to what those corporate luxury boxes pull in. Thats the real money. And PSL, the single greatest scam ever.
