Maybe they should just focus on building Choo Choos?

Never ceases to amaze me how cities are so williong to sell the farm for a sports related venue or event. My own town swallowed the bait when a former Mayor (who at the time was Obama-esqe in his charm and charisma) convinced folks if they built a domed stadium, the NFL would come and that would make us "big time". Now we have a nice big domed stadium that gets used for HS games, 1 bowl game and the occassional monster truck event. Meanwhile, it costs more to maintain it then it makes each year.
