When it comes to tracking stadium funding and development, no one has covered it more closely than Neil deMause. Whether through his Field of Schemes website, the book of the same title, or through his days prior at Baseball Prospectus, deMause has highlighted the massive disparity between public and private investment in facility development.
Business of Sports Network staffer Rob Smith interviews deMause on a number of topics around the Florida market including the new Marlins Stadium set to be the location of MLB’s Opening Day broadcast via ESPN on April 4th, as well as the situation with the Rays’ efforts to gain a new ballpark in the Tampa Bay/St. Petersburg area.
