And, they act like stadiums are going to"drive economic" activity instead of creating dead zones in cities.
You know what would guarantee increased economic activity?
People being able to easily get to jobs and shops.

Stadiums drive economic activity into city government officials pockets.

Even then, only in a shortsighted, politically deceptive manner. Taxation driven by sales in a thriving hub with free transit also pads the budget. But, taxes are unpopular and people like sports teams and arena shows and overpriced shitty beverages. They give the bigger dopamine hit.

Is that an economic activity in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?

Patriot Place @ Gillette Stadium is definitely not a "dead zone".
