Governor Richardson's office recently announced the appointment of Brian O'Neill as executive director for the New Mexico Sports Authority. "I am charging Brian with developing a proposal for a multipurpose arena in Bernilillo County," Richardson said.
My immediate response to that was, "Who will pay for it, if it is built, the citizenry of the state?"
In Pittsburgh a few years ago the powers that be built two new stadiums – one for the Pirates and the other for the Steelers. Guess who paid for them? When they tore down the "old" Three Rivers Stadium they still owed $45 million on it!
WHO DO YOU THINK SHOULD FOOT THE BILL FOR A STADIUM, IF IT IS BUILT, IN THE ALBUQUERQUE AREA?
