Billionaire owners have built dozens of new stadiums and arenas, often with hundreds of millions of dollars in taxpayer funding. State and local governments spent $33 billion in public funds to build stadiums in North America between 1970 and 2020, with the median public contribution covering 73% of costs, a study published last year found. As part of teams’ agreements with cities and states, they have been handed the rights to transform the land around these ballparks into offices, apartment buildings, hotels and shopping malls.
- It's just like giving corps tax breaks to move their factories/offices into town - if they don't, they'll go elsewhere. Sucks.formed
- Here in Denver the Rockies stadium definitely took downtown from a wasteland to a lovely downtown.formed
- Now w homelessness/migrant... (largest in the country), downtown is on the verge of collapse again. It's sad anyway you look at it.formed

Study finds Chlormequat in Cheerios and Quaker products.
What to know about the pesticide!
Four out of five Americans likely have a lesser-known pesticide in their bodies thanks to the consumption of certain foods, according to a new study.
Published in the Journal of Exposure Science & Environmental Epidemiology on Thursday, the study found that 80% of tested Americans had the chemical chlormequat in their systems, a plant regulating agent that is currently not approved for use on edible crops in the U.S.
Imported foods treated with chlormequat are allowed to enter the country, however. According to a brief published alongside the study by the advocacy organization Environmental Working Group (EWG), the findings "ring alarm bells," as the chemical is thought to be harmful and was found in common oat and wheat-based products, including Cheerios and Quaker Oats.
