@maryisbananas See, Bran becoming King could have worked if the middle seasons were different. If you had just seen the first and last episodes of the show, that part would have made sense in the midst of all the trash.
@TheAFranklin13@MSRterps@cg_410 That area definitely was helped but again, it’s simply just not close to what gets talked about by the owners of sports teams from all the major sports leagues. The Bears are getting a billion for the Hammond stadium. That area is not getting that kind of value back.
@MSRterps@cg_410 The team existing by itself is not enough for all these bars to be getting more business than average, it has to also be near the stadium so that people can pregame and walk. Max’s Taphouse in Fell’s Point doesn’t make substantially more from the presence of the Baltimore Ravens.
@TheAFranklin13@MSRterps@cg_410 They can certainly bring in some revenue but if you actually tally up the amount of money businesses make as a result of football season and baseball season, it’s nowhere near the 100s of millions per stadium that are being demanded in renovation/new stadium deals.
@MSRterps@cg_410 Those definitely get business from the stadium being there but definitely not to the tune of the 100s of millions of dollars that get thrown around in these stadium deals. Aside from Pickles or Section 771, what businesses make money off of the presence of M&T and The Yard?
@MSRterps@cg_410 Example: when’s the last time you were going to an Orioles or Ravens game and thought “Oh boy! Let’s go to Jimmy’s Famous Seafood or Pratt Street Ale House as well as the game!”? The stadiums already sell food and drink so there’s not exactly an incentive to go to a restaurant.
We have balls and strikes being overturned because cameras can supposedly pinpoint the location of a 101 MPH fastball by hundredths of an inch but when asked if a ball is fair or foul they’re like “we aren’t sure” give me a fucking break
