Stadiums can certainly benefit from neighborhoods, but AFIAK there is little (if any) economic evidence that the reverse is true (comparing a stadium to generic commercial development). And baseball is generally less bad than American football in this respect (smaller stadiums, more home games).

There is not a single place within New York City limits where a football stadium would be the highest and best use

Maybe I’m just being a NYC metro homer, but the stadium discourse has lightly annoyed me. Yes, MetLife sucks to get to and should be better in many ways, but urban football stadiums like Lumen, while convenient, are abjectly awful uses of high-value real estate and are not something to aspire to

I saw an Instagram reel where people had installed a movie theatre-type soda machine in their home and they walked you through the cost which was thousands of dollars and the only two sodas it dispensed was Diet Coke and Diet Doctor Pepper so I think their assets should be seized

Hack #5: Football + Oven
Mitts + Baby's Naptime
TL;DR: We're sure you've seen the viral Tik Tok of a dad watching sports with oven mitts on his hands-TikTok content creator
@makwaters is just a genius for saving all of our babies' naps during football season. If you've got a sports fanatic who just can't help but cheer their team on with loud and
aggressive clapping, pop some oven mitts on their hands to tone down the noise and prevent baby from waking up.

This is deeply disingenuous and, frankly, a dereliction of journalistic integrity. A quick glance at Yum! Brand’s annual filings reveal that this is common language included every single year as an investment risk factor. The most recent filing is no different because the risk is always present.
