Taxpayers should never pay for a for-profit stadium! Make the owners pay or leave

They will wear it out and start complaining that the local residents need to build them a new billion dollar playground.

The Diamondbacks are the next major sports team on the way out of AZ. That stadium is 25+ years old and working with an obsolete cooling system. The state should start charging a surcharge tax to any out of state home purchasers. This guy says they can't just pick up and move to just any metro area, oh believe me they sure can!

Well yes they "could" move but he's saying for MLB teams it's just as easy to just pack up and go like it is an NBA or NHL team... heck even NFL. There's not many cities with ready-made major league ballparks. Yea the A's are playing in Sacramento but that's an extreme example. I guess if they wanted to threaten to go to Nashville or something it could happen. The Dbacks flirted with Vegas for years but we know that's off the table now. They don't have many choices other than building a new stadium somewhere else in the Valley IMHO

They could move to Indianapolis, New Orleans, Louisville, etc... Then again voters are not in the mood to spend taxpayer money on rich owners and their teams.

The stadium is owned by the county, the dbacks are just a tenant. Dbacks and Phoenix are on the same path as the Coyotes were. Dangerous road they are on

Maybe the cheapskate billionaire and millionaire owners should build their own stadiums with private money.

They can’t afford it.A new stadium takes a lot of money.

@lindamcdaniel2419 Maybe their in the wrong business? Maybe they should stop overpaying their employees (players)? These owners made their fortune in princles of private business but when it comes to sports franchise they want the public to pay.

Maybe if the county wasn’t trying to have them sign a 50 year lease and do a 25-30 year lease it would be in everyone’s best interest and they would actually keep up with renovations

Diamondbacks ownership is a joke. This is a fine stadium. They can pay privately for a new stadium if they desire. But they sure as hell don’t NEED one

It is horrible, we went to a game this summer and left after the 2nd inning because it was too hot.

Major league sports team just move around cities sucking millions of taxpayer money then leave. Let some other city deal with it and use that money to benefit its citizens.

You know the Dbacks aren’t doing a thing. They’ve been saying forever they want a new stadium.
