The New San Diego Ballpark
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report discusses San Diego, California’s decision to build a new, downtown ballpark for the San Diego Padres baseball team.

It has now become commonplace to use broad-based or special tax to build or operate these facilities with teams retaining most or all of the revenues. How this situation has unfolded in San Diego is outlined here. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
