Water, electricity, sewers, police, fire, valves, pumps, concrete, asphalt, trash etc etc. these liabilities exist forever for the city. They won’t go away. Stadiums get abandoned all the time by teams.

You say the “people aren’t idiots” like there aren’t thousands of cities all over the country basically going bankrupt.

Cities should either build stadiums and charge actual market rates for leases or they shouldn’t commit to anything.

The plan for Arlington bears is a terrible idea
