Interesting developments in Boston recently with plans to renovate Wrigley Field, which has implications for people who have viewing areas at the top of apartment buildings overlooking the stadium. Needless to say the moves to make the stadium more enclosed are not going down too well with these people. Interesting that this plan seems to be going the other way?<br /><br />I also wonder just how much of an inconvenience stadium activity will be to office activity - a more concrete form of crowding out, perhaps, with people switching off at work to concentrate on the game? You have to figure that congestion could be a nightmare for people working late on match day, too (bearing in mind that many games are played on week nights rather than exclusively on weekends). What about the impacts on other activities, while we are trying to maximise its usage? Or would they just come from elsewhere in Christchurch?Sam Richardsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05349817484911554144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2346320773370187300.post-1648730642129176192013-05-09T15:58:32.437+12:002013-05-09T15:58:32.437+12:00It isn't hard to imagine lots of tenants being...It isn't hard to imagine lots of tenants being willing to pay more for office space overlooking the grounds. But it's also not hard to imagine that much of that would be a transfer from the folks who rent space on the grounds - leakage of ticket revenues as tenants and their friends watch the match from the office tower...Eric Cramptonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15831696523324469713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2346320773370187300.post-23894312522210618372013-05-09T15:45:10.966+12:002013-05-09T15:45:10.966+12:00Too right, Paul.

I know they have the 'temporary' stadium, but surely there are more compelling alternative uses of scarce government funds at this time. Decisionmakers should at least be open about the fact that it is highly unlikely to be a money maker for the city. If you build it for public good purposes, show us the value of the public goods it will generate.

One further question I would ask is about the opportunity cost of any taxpayer money used for the stadium. There are many other (better?) things to use money on in Christchurch right now.Paul Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13731003529546075700noreply@blogger.com
