Description
Identify a professional sport stadium or an arena that was built in the United States within the past fifteen years and was at least partially funded by the city, county, and/or municipality in which it resides. The facility should have cost at least $100 million to use for this assignment. Once you have identified the facility you will then research how it was funded and answer the questions below. For your response please list each question followed by your answer to that question. You must also include a reference page in APA format that lists all the sources you used to find your information. If you fail to include a reference page you will not receive credit for the assignment. You must email me your idea and receive confirmation from me before you begin so that each student is researching a different facility.
