Don't do it. Major League Baseball has enough money to pay for their own damn ballpark. There are a million better uses for taxpayer money.
Right? Feels a little redundant to have another ballpark so close to the Civic Stadium, but the city seems hellbent on getting another stadium in here somewhere so it feels like it's gonna go somewhere.
People in Seattle fought for a long time to stop taxpayer money from going to Safeco field. It happened anyway. I hope Portland can be more successful.
we get taxed enough on things that are supposed to be getting done and aren't.
I'd be stoked on a ball park, but I'll be fucked if Icm gonna pay for it.
There's a venn diagram here:
(People who can afford MLB tickets( )People who can blow off an afternoon to go to a ball game.)
The population inside ( ) isn't big enough to support a stadium.
