Hi, Guess you guys have no children. Would you want your children living next to a bar ? 25 single parents rent apartments. Where are 50 - 100 school children supposed to play ? Where are busses supposed to go ? Is this being racist ? I am still waiting for anyone to find national report saying any sport stadium is good, not harmful to local economy. Tell me what happens when you have different religions, different races, different nationalities and different incomes mixed into 10 acres with a bar ? Guess you readers do not care if your taxes are raised big time. ( Of course billionaire owners will not pay property taxes.) TRUTH Nashville fairgrounds makes more money, and is occupied more days, than any other city owned stadium, convention center and other entertainment venues. Nashville Fairgrounds had millions of dollars syphoned away by Karl Dean who's main goal was to destroy fairgrounds. Fairgrounds has 10 million dollars for improvements they can not spend as stadium is in way. Karl Dean and John Ingram close friends. I am still waiting to hear some intelligent responses not silly nonsense. COME ON PEOPLE GIVE ME FACTS TO SUPPORT YOUR LAND GIVE AWAY AND STADIUM. WHAT IS WRONG WITH METRO CENTER ? DOWE HAVE ANY INTELLIGENT PEOPLE TO RESPOND WITH FACTS ? Hi, I just wondered if anyone has ever thought of the safety concerns? 900 apartments, with many low or marginal, income, there will be over 1,000 residents living in a small space will bring drug use and crime. Add 200 hotel rooms, at least 150 residents and you increase crime potential. Add a bar and you are asking for even more crime.. Add soccer stadium and you add 10,000's more to a small area. Add beer sales at stadium and you get more risk of drunk driving . Add 10,000 cars trying to get to stadium and you get traffic nightmare. Add 7,000 cars ( Only planned parking for 7,000 cars. ) trying to leave fairgrounds with several traffic lights, trains and local traffic and it will take many hours just to leave fairgrounds. Then think about young guys watching the girls playing soccer in the new soccer fields. What do you think will happen after they have had a few beers ? You will get harassment, intimidation or worse. What will the average fairground visitor think about safety when they hear of countless police visits to fairgrounds? Would you take your children to fairground activity seeing 100's of people wandering around ? Maybe people should think of fairground as a place to take their family and not as a CASH COW FOR THE RICH
