Message: [QUOTE="Coxy, post: 2258043, member: 1764"] The exceptions are the USA and now South Africa, and to a lesser extent, South Korea/Japan. They weren't really "soccer" nations. So they are trying to expand. And Flutterby makes a good point. While the businesses may make a profit off it, the governments will end up in deficit - and given we're already with a massive deficit (thanks Uncle Kevin for our plasma tvs) I can't see the justification for spending billions on stadium upgrades. It'd need to come down to corporate backers to make it happen. In fact, I'm quite anti government being heavily involved as funders of sporting facilities (as in for professional sports). They should be able to supply grants, but they shouldn't be the majority funder. [/QUOTE]
