Reply #44: Ah, but parks, zoos and libraries are completely different. [View All]

Those facilities are owned by the public and don't exist solely for the purpose of allowing a billionaire to make huge profits from taxpayer money. You also don't have to pay money to go to these facilities (well, except for the MN zoo) so they are available to everyone. If they can't draw up a stadium proposal that relies on user fees rather than public money to support it, then maybe the problem is that there isn't enough support among the users to justify the stadium. They say they want a stadium but when it comes time to pony up it's a different story. (Not speaking of you here but rather users in general since you have stated that you are willing to pay.)
