New Stadiums and Winning Streaks, Correlation Study
Brian Tuohy presents a study of NFL and MLB teams that experienced sudden on-field success immediately before or after opening a new taxpayer-funded stadium. He argues that these winning streaks are manufactured to generate public excitement and justify the massive public investment. Examples cited include the Minnesota Vikings and Atlanta Falcons reaching championships shortly after stadium debuts.
