Gillette Stadium and the economics of sports in Boston with Victor Matheson

In this episode, we're talking with economics professor Victor Matheson about the history of Gillette Stadium and Boston's aversion to stadium funding more broadly. The conversation touches on Fenway, the new ballpark in Worcester, Robert Kraft's new Revs home, and the one public stadium project the city IS funding. The Red Sox are going to the CORN.  The Union build a "Sportsplex" in Chester.  Check out Ghostlander! You could be their new drummer/pedal steel/keyboard player.
