I voted for it. But now I wish I had not. The vote did not solve the problem. The problem is runaway player salaries. Stadiums become "obselete" because they don't raise enough revenues. They don't raise enough revenues because they don't have enough "amenities". The so-called amenities are luxury suites that can be sold for higher prices. Indeed, even the regular seating have prices that might as well be in the stratosphere.

Another stadium for Houston?
The Oilers left Houston over this issue. Then the Astros threatened to move, and so there was a referendum in Houston, which set up a Sports Authority. The Sports Authority builds the stadiums now. This referendum just barely passed. If it didn't, there's a good chance that Houston wouldn't have a professional sports team.
