Should Public Money be Used to Subsidize Professional Sports and
Sporting Venues?
[ send me this paper ]
This 10 page report discusses the fact that
both individuals and city governments who are eager to have a
professional sports franchise located in their city list numerous
reasons why public dollars should be spent to entice a team to
come to town or stay in town -- increased employment
opportunities, greater revenue for the city, quality of life
considerations for locals, and, of course, civic pride. But the
question is whether or not tax dollars should be used to entice
teams to locate in a city, build the arena necessary to house the
team, or upgrade an arena or park because the team threatens to
move elsewhere unless the city does so. In a sense, once the city
gets its franchise it is held hostage by it. This paper looks at
several sides of the issue. Bibliography lists 13 sources.
