It's not about me or you, it's about seeing our community progress while enjoying the "benefits" from the things that were built because of the continuous financial shots-in-the-arm that Tampa Bay area "benefits" from. You gotta admit regardless of who makes money, the Tampa Bay area gets nicer & better before every big event! Ever been to downtown Jacksonville, or even the smaller towns, not as nice, and not as much to enjoy (I know Jax hosted a SB, they could use a couple more)...<br />But, back to the point of the posted article, "Sounds like ANOTHER big event in Tampa at the stadium that "wasn't worth building"... lol"!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17525411555797614762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1021348172235346593.post-79689689357384109772013-09-03T07:59:00.589-04:002013-09-03T07:59:00.589-04:00B.

Unlike a small digressive town like Brooksville or Bartow that I might only notice a few fixed potholes, or extra street lights...<br />Also, I have to say Scott, you make my arguments against your ideology easy...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17525411555797614762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1021348172235346593.post-21626056628655886902013-09-02T09:59:09.325-04:002013-09-02T09:59:09.325-04:00Super Bowls make a lot of people rich...just not a...Super Bowls make a lot of people rich...just not always the cities that host them:<br />http://dfw.cbslocal.com/2011/01/26/cities-not-seeing-great-economic-boom-from-sbxlv/Noah Pranskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04341946902034828581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1021348172235346593.post-44956212928803207382013-09-02T08:50:01.109-04:002013-09-02T08:50:01.109-04:00B.

Given how petty that is, fyi, I moved down here from Pittsburgh in 03', BUT for a regular dude from SW PA, I did fly down here in 01', stayed w/ at my aunt & uncle's, went to the punt-pass-and kick thing, and in 09' we did the same, then partied downtown w/ Steeler fans after the game, so maybe $500-$1000!<br />Though, it's not about me, smart alec, it's about the muti-billion dollar empire of the NFL hosting the most important sporting event in the United States of America, all the other big businesses, the media, and everyone else that comes to spend thousands (not including the "indirect spending" after having many millions of people around the world see your city put on a show). "every 10 years(?)", It's a big shot-in-the-arm financially to host 1, let alone host at least 3 more (if not 5-10 more) because we have a nice stadium to host the game! Besides, ask the other 15 NFL cities that haven't hosted a Super Bowl if they would want to if they had the chance... Yup, I thought they would...<br />Thanks for playing Scott, please try again...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17525411555797614762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1021348172235346593.post-6252552893320282072013-09-01T20:08:18.437-04:002013-09-01T20:08:18.437-04:00At best, TB will get a super bowl about every 10 y...At best, TB will get a super bowl about every 10 years.
