I still wonder what the hell these guys are doing needing new stadiums every 25-30 years. - Will Hunting Feb 26, 17:03 11
- when Calgary was wrangling over their new stadium there was a lot of "but it's the oldest stadium in the league!" hand-wringing. - mafic Feb 26, 17:08 10

  - Sorry your designers sucked. Pay up for your renovations. - Will Hunting Feb 26, 17:11 2
    - it pretty much always boils down to "but we could make more money with a new stadium. if someone else builds it." -- nm - mafic Feb 26, 17:32 1
      - I know but I’m now a “fuck em” fan. - Will Hunting Feb 26, 17:45
  - at least in MLB, it's beyond more boxes in the stadium. now it's about having an "entertainment zone" around the stadium that the owners also own -- nm - hollywood big shot Feb 26, 17:11 2
    - yeah. when they built the new Perth stadium they put it right next to the resort/casino. -- nm - mafic Feb 26, 17:35
    - A plan that has worked so well for Arte. - JD Feb 26, 17:16
