The amount of money that goes towards funding private baseball stadiums is sickening. When will it end?

Obviously the city of Dunedin sees an economic benefit from having the Blue Jays train there.

I’d tend to agree with you if we weren’t talking about spring training stadiums. Unlike major league stadiums cities see the economic boosts, but they usually benefit from the consist use. They aren’t sitting there unused. So the city still has ways to make its money back easily. Most stadiums and or backfield complexes host numerous D1-D3 college games after spring training, especially populated by Midwest and northern teams.

How about you think what baseball does to the city of Dunedin and all of the amenities the month of March. I’ve been there numerous times from Canada. Dunedin NEEDS this

Public subsidies of private enterprise? I wish they would send a few dollars my way–If they want to help me out with my office rent, buy paper and toner cartridge, my off-site storage…I would be very grateful.
Public officials, when using taxpayer money, should come clean. How is it going to be paid for? What reduction in services to the taxpaying public will arise.

Have you ever been to Dunedin? I’ve been the last 3 years. The vacant storefronts. Boarded up gas stations. If the Blue jays were to leave this already shaky economy would collapse.
This is business people. Dunedin is nothing without the blue jays. #business101 #smart

Do the Blue Jays use Dunedin after Spring Training is over. A team? High-A Team?
Training facilities? Base of operations in a favorable climate year-round?
The Blue Jays are getting a real deal here. If the club only boosts the economy from February and March, its moot.
Even if there a year-round presence of snow bird fans, I’m still not sold. Let Toronto move someplace else before Dunedin – or Denedain – makes a huge mistake.
Boarded store fronts are pretty common these days, Florida notwithstanding.
