Arguing with Christians is like playing chess with a pigeon.  No matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

The truth is slow, but relentless. Over time it becomes irresistible.

I'm not a sports fan either but it'll be good economically for the region.

Rah - rah...  :razz:

Anyone able to prove these things are a net gain, actually worth the taxpayer monies .gov spends?

Please note that doesn't take into account whether even doing so is a legitimate action of .gov.  We can also talk about that.  ; )

Will it?  As I stated, lets see the expenditures compared to some closely accurate projection of the income.

Do you think there are no costs involved, even for them?

Wonder how many tickets would be available to residents. . . not too many I'd venture to say.

I think this is more of the continuing fleecing of the people disguised as economic stimulation. (I love football but detest the strong arm tactics of the NFL utilized to bully cities into building new stadiums at the taxpayers expense. The only thing worse are the wimpy state/city governments that bend over and take it). In reality I am betting we'll be lucky if it is a wash when the bottom line is arrived at. But as usual they'll do a little creative accounting to make it look like a windfall for the city.

We'll see how things are in 2017 . . . :-\

Do you mean the hotels, restaurants, and businesses owned by multi-national corporations with no ties to Indianapolis?  I'm sure their shareholders will be filled with glee.

all i know is, that our company is expected to profit about 5 million over the next 4 years.........we estimate to hire about 300 skilled electricians.........and we are just one of several contractors in indy that have BIG expectations.

It is a good thing...........why are people trying to turn this into something bad?  it is foolish to think that we would be better somehow if we did NOT have a football team here or get the superbowl
