Interesting quote from someone who appears to have a strong bias.


“Anybody that has done Economic Development 101 knows that these stadiums don’t provide development,” (Eileen) Buckheit (development director for the town of East Hartford,) said. “Stadiums aren’t economic drivers, and no matter how many studies come out that prove that, states are still participants in construction on these stadiums.”

Stadiums, if properly marketed have enormous capacity for development nearby. Perhaps Ms. Buckheit failed to grasp the golden goose in her midst.
