I agree. I also think this should apply to tweets posted from random people.

Yeah, but anyone who posts the tweets usually has it linked and not cut and paste as an image like this yahoo keeps doing. It's just trolling.

F Me In The Brain

Wait, a tweet from @ Jesus saves or @ science is my hobby    should not be treated as fact?

Agree!

Yeah.  Socialism are things I don't like.  It's pretty simple.  For example, the Pittsburg Steelers are commie socialists, as is stuffed cabbage and Barack Obama.

At least the browns aren't a bunch of commies.  

And the Ravens are nazis.

^^That's right bros.  Freakin' pinkos!

And what about the S.F. Giants.  I mean, come on, San Francisco Giants.  Obviously commies. 

Same thing with Cincinnati Reds.  Reds?  How blatant can you get?  COMMIES!

Considering how much public funding goes into football stadiums, the NFL is probably one of the biggest commie socialist recipient of taxpayer money in the nation. 

Still pissed about US Bank stadium. Half a billion dollars in tax dollars just hand it over to some rich asshole.

But think of all the jobs and how increasing his net worth will actual help out all the people's 401ks out there...jeez you must be a real deal socialist criticizing capitalists taking advantage of what they have earned.

I don't know that all city leaders are irrational.  The question is whether the economic activity generated by a pro football team creates more jobs and tax revenue than the tax money it uses to build the stadium (which I believe the city owns, not the team).  If it does create more value, then it's an easy decision.  Considering that MN now gets super bowls, that's a shit ton of revenue right there, on top of the concerts and other events.

So CM, is there an analysis of the trending of this investment so far?

We do know that Olympics absolutely lose money in the States.  The number of facilities that are needed and are never used again is pretty high.

The short answer is no.

Economic activity near the stadium is mostly unchanged. If anything smaller local businesses suffered while the stadium was being built. And large corporations moved in afterwards.

The superb owl ended up costing money.

U.S. Bank Stadium is owned by the Minnesota Sports Facilities Authority (MSFA), a public body and political subdivision of the State of Minnesota.  so basically the Vikings get to use the stadium, and stick the taxpayers with ongoing bills for maintenance, clean up, security, etc.
