Dang that is actually an impressive get for the Greenbrier. The PGA is one thing, but an NFL team is a whole new level. Way to go Mr. Justice.

It's long past time that taxpayers quit paying for professional sports facilities.

I'm inclined to agree with you pknopp, but if the sporting event or facility ends up paying for itself in the long run, is there that much harm?

It's going to happen anyway. This wasn't planned and developed over 5 days.

I guess they'll go back to New Orleans for their exhibition games? Of course, there's a proposal that the season be changed to 18 regular season games and only 2 exhibitions, so that might not be such a big deal.

It's going to be a busy summer at the Greenbrier, with the golf events and now football in August, it will be a happening place to be.

When I read the title I thought this thread should be in the Religion forum.
