Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Camden Yards. Jacobs Field. It’s happening all around. To keep professional sports teams happy, the public has been subsidizing stadium projects at a record pace — whether building stadiums, donating land, or providing forms of tax relief. Kojo and guests discuss the economics of publicly funded stadiums, and whether having a home team and a fancy ball park actually helps your local economy.
Guests
- Dennis Coates Professor of Economics, University of Maryland - Baltimore County
- Stephen Fuller Professor of Public Policy, George Mason University
- Art Rooney II Vice President and General Counsel, Pittsburgh Steelers
- Peter Magowan President, San Francisco Giants
