town. They think if they do this, it will boost the economy by the stadium selling t-shirts and food and tickets to the game but do they really think that is enough to help our economy. Yes, it brings people in to the town but it also hurts people in the long run.
One way it hurts people is that they spend their tax money on some stadium that does nothing our economy. The only positive thing about building stadiums is that is provides a few jobs, but then it is minimum wage jobs at that. The problem with having stadiums in a low population area is that locals are spending all their extra money on the stadiums than spending it on local businesses, therefore they are helping the government out than rather helping the town out, so basically having a stadium in a low population area does no good at all. The government needs to focus on where to put a stadium, if they put it in a good enough area, like New York then it might stand a chance, but putting the stadium in a small town might get hurt in the long run. It could increase taxes making it difficult for the town's people to maintain a steady lifestyle, considering they have minimum wage jobs making it harder for them to pay for stuff and possibly getting into debt. Restaurants could possibly shut down not having enough business to keep it open which result in people losing their
jobs. By people not having jobs and not having enough money the stadium would then be useless, and the government would have use so much money making it basically it useless, and putting us farther in debt. By all means the government needs to fix this issue. Either putting a stadium in a small town or just continue on working on them in the big cities. Problem is its more people in big city than it is a small town but it might be possible that putting a stadium in a small town would actually work out. It would draw a lot of attention to the area and put more money on working on more stadiums in other small towns.
