The article “Taxpayers Have Spent A 'Staggering' Amount of Money On NFL Stadiums” by Travis Waldron draws attention to two main points. First that American Taxpayers spent an estimated seven billion dollars to help construct twenty- nine of the thirty- one NFL stadiums in our country. This placed the risk of bankruptcy on the taxpayers rather than on the league whose annual revenue is more than ten billion dollars. Second, cities in America love their football teams and will spend very large amounts
The total employment impact from on-site activities totals 8,582 jobs (Total employment 9,827 – Total off-site employment 1,245).

Marketing Focus: Lambeau Field In the National Football League (NFL) everyone is building the next biggest and greatest stadium. This trend was started by Cowboys owner, Jerry Jones.

The town of Port Orford could benefit from a new park. At this park I think it would be a cool idea to make separate sections for different types and ages of people. This could give the diversity for a large majority of the community to enjoy together. It would be a nice and fun place for everyone to enjoy and use.

Of course, the Park City crash story is important and you know it, but I’ll talk about it anyway. Chase is a good skier, but on our last day in Park City a few years ago, he took a jump too fast and fell backwards hitting his head.

start on Sept. 20 for instance. Facing one of the best teams in baseball, the Washington Nationals, Fernandez pitched eight innings and gave up no runs with just three hits and 12 strikeouts. It was one of the five best outings in all of baseball this year, and a tragic but fitting end to a short but remarkable career.
