The price of soccer keeps going up

By Tom Kirkendall

Based on what's going on in Washington, D.C., my prediction on the eventual public subsidy of the proposed Dynamo soccer stadium in Houston may be a tad low. With D.C.'s proposed $150 million public subsidy for about 25,000 seats, that works out to $6,000 per seat for what amounts to minor league soccer. Is there any rational argument that such an outlay could possibly be worth it for D.C. citizens?
