A Preliminary Evaluation of the Tax Reform Panel's Report Leonard E. Burman, Tax Break, December 05, 2005
Research and Commentary
The Tax Reform Proposals: Some Good Ideas, but Show Me the Money Leonard E. Burman, Economists' Voice, December 01, 2005 America is in the midst of a sports construction boom. New sports facilities costing at least $200 million each have been completed or are under way in Baltimore, Charlotte, Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Milwaukee, Nashville, San Francisco, St. Louis, Seattle, Tampa, and Washington, D.C., and are in the planning stages in Boston, Dallas, Minneapolis, New York, and Pittsburgh. Major stadium renovations have been undertaken in Jacksonville and Oakland. Industry experts estimate that more than $7 billion will be spent on new facilities for professional sports teams before 2006. Most of this $7 billion will come from public sources. The subsidy starts with the federal government, which allows state and local governments to issue tax-exempt bonds to help finance sports facilities. Tax exemption lowers interest on debt and so reduces the amount that cities and teams must pay for a stadium. Since 1975, the interest rate reduction has varied between 2.4 and 4.5 percentage points. Assuming a differential of 3 percentage points, the discounted present value loss in federal taxes for a $225 million stadium is about $70 million, or more than $2 million a year over a useful life of 30 years. Ten facilities built in the 1970s and 1980s, including the Superdome in New Orleans, the Silverdome in Pontiac, the now-obsolete Kingdome in Seattle, and Giants Stadium in the New Jersey Meadowlands, each cause an annual federal tax loss exceeding $1 million.

Page 2's Ballpark Grades

"There's much to love about a ballpark even the homeliest, most desolate one," wrote Page 2's Eric Neel as he wrapped up Page 2's tour around all 30 major-league ballparks Pittsburgh's gem was our surprise winner as the best park in baseball. Of course, most of the ballparks in the majors are anything but homely and desolate. The new wave of parks are brick-and-metal monuments to the modern dance between sport and business: they make the games more enjoyable but cost taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars to build. But when we're at the game? We don't mind. As Eric writes, "Outside, we're the disconnected masses. ... Inside, we're a crowd, we're the red-shirted sea of Edison Field. We have shared roots and a common vision inside. We raise our voices to the heavens and crash our thunder stix as one." Page 2 wanted to visit all the major-league ballparks this summer and so we did. We decided upon our own arbitrary scorecard to grade the ballparks and compiled the scores in 20 different categories ranging from the exterior architecture of the stadium to the quality of hot dogs and concessions to the ease of moving from the cheap seats to the prime seats. The final grades our ours, but yours to discuss. Disagree? That's fine with us. Here's the master scorecard:

    funds which has in turn politicised the teams Football may be the most popular sport in Lebanon, but week after week the stadiums, which can hold up to 60,000 people, are empty. The Lebanese league is still under way, but there are no fans to support the teams, after an official ban on spectators was introduced by the government one season ago due to fears of political and religious-inspired violence. The situation is made more difficult by the fact that football is the most popular sport in Lebanon and any game played could easily attract tens of thousands of spectators. Lebanese authorities blame the tense political atmosphere in the country and fears of possible violence for the ban. Riots have broken out in the past and there are fears that they can easily turn into sectarian clashes. No money In video

    Rahif Alameh, head of Lebanese Football Association, said that a lack of funds has allowed Lebanon's political parties to step in and finance the sport.

    The Winner's Curse - Oil Field Economics and Baseball

    The Diamond Angle

    Stadiums can be used to transfer money between local economies. But there are certainly other ways. For example, instead of seeing a ballgame a family seeking entertainment orders out for pizza and picks up a video. Money is spent on local businesses and taxes are collected to reflect that. However, the pizza joint got their cheese from Wisconsin and the video store got their tapes from Hollywood. Some of the money spent by the family hence leaks out of the local economy to Wisconsin and Hollywood. The money that stays in the community is taxed over and over again as it is exchanged for goods and services, but the money that flees elsewhere is no longer taxed by the local government. An important thing to see here is that different situations have different amounts of leakage. An area that has to import a lot of its products will have a very leaky economy. A big city, which produces many of the products consumed by the locals, will have a less leaky economy and will do a better job of capturing and taxing money brought into the economy. A government in an agricultural region will lose less money to leakage if it uses tax money to encourage out-of-towners spending on food, rather than machinery built in Detroit.

    March 30, 2008 Bond crisis costs stadium projects millions The auction-rate bond crisis - surely you've been following the auction-rate bond crisis? - is beginning to take its toll on some stadium and arena projects that used the little-known financial instruments to pay for construction costs. In some cases, reports the Bloomberg wire service, monthly costs have more than tripled, leaving both teams and taxpayers in a massive hole. The idea behind auction-rate bonds was that they were supposed to save money: Instead of a fixed interest rate, rates are set at auction every few weeks, which at one point was cheaper than fixed-rate borrowing. Not anymore, reports Bloomberg: An index from the Securities Financial Markets Association shows the average weekly rate climbed to 6.56 percent on March 19 from 3.68 percent for the 12 months through January as investors retreated and the banks managing auctions refused to make their own offers. The average fixed-rate municipal bond maturing in 20 years yielded 4.28 percent the past 12 months, according to the Bond Buyer. Among the projects facing skyrocketing bond payments: The state of Louisiana saw its monthly payments for refurbishing the New Orleans Saints ' Superdome jump from $500,000 in January to $1.8 in February; the new

    Bluepod Media brings Bluetooth to football stadiums
    Posted Jan 18th 2008 8:58PM by Darren Murph
    Filed under: Wireless
    Simmer down, NFL fans we're talking real football here, so we'd recommend hoping a flight to Europe if you're interested in taking advantage of this. Reportedly, Bluepod Media has inked exclusive BT marketing rights with a bevy of Premiership football clubs including Blackburn Rovers, Birmingham City, West Ham, Portsmouth and Wigan Athletic (among others). The deal was worked out after successful trials at Portsmouth and Birmingham City, and going forward, Bluepod will be working with third-parties to "create and distribute branded content to football fans within all stadiums on match days." Best of all, said content will be offered up to attendees gratis, while brand owners will be shelling out cash on a per download basis. Don't worry, dear Americans, you can always order up a hot dog from the comfort of your Safeco Field seat with your DS how's that for a consolation prize?

    40. College Football Stadiums
    On one side of the stadium is the Tennessee River, where fans arrive by boat and tailgate hours before kickoff and hours after the game.
    http://msnbc.com/modules/sports/collegefootballstadiums/neyland.asp
    Year built:
    Capacity:

    There’s not a better view in college football. On one side of the stadium is the Tennessee River, where fans arrive by boat and tailgate hours before kickoff and hours after the game. On the other side is The Hill, the historic center of UT’s old campus. Rising above it all are the Smoky Mountains, a perfect scenic backdrop for a fall Saturday afternoon. Former UT broadcaster George Mooney navigated his small runabout down the river in 1962, spawning what is now called the Volunteer Navy. It all comes together moments before kickoff when the Vols run through the big T formed by the Pride of the Southland Band, perfectly packaging game day.
    It’s enormous. And it keeps getting bigger, even though it still trails Michigan Stadium in overall attendance: Neyland’s capacity is 104,079; Michigan Stadium is 107,501. But Neyland’s facility is unlike any in the nation. It rises straight up from the ground, towering over the playing field and intimidating opponents with its size. The stadium has undergone 16 renovations since the West stands were built in 1921, seating 3,200. The latest addition was 78 executive suites completed last September. Also included: One of the nation’s biggest video replay boards (44 X 28 feet).
    Glier: No 'off' button in Knoxville
    Ah, the Tennessee fan. Obsessed and passionate; maniacal and frightening. Step into Neyland Stadium and feel the orange experience. The volume booms from the opening introductions and continues with each play. Tennessee fans have always been passionate to the point of paranoia. How could they not? Johnny Majors was beaten out by Paul Hornung for the Heisman Trophy in 1956, and Peyton Manning lost to Charles Woodson in 1997. As far as Vol fans are concerned, both were unforgivable blunders by Heisman voters. Better get used to Rocky Top, the unofficial fight song of the Vols. If you don’t know it, you will by the end of the day ­- from the constant crooning of 100,000 fans.
