- 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
