The city of Denver, Colorado has recently put onto the election ballot, the vote for a new sports stadium to be located within the city of Denver. This Stadium will replace the existing Mile High Stadium, built in 1947, which provides facility for sports entertainment such as football and baseball, as well as social events such as concerts and automobile competitions. An evaluation of opinions for the new stadium is mixed. Funding for the new stadium will come from sales tax revenue within the Denver metropolitan area.

Sports pages in newspapers far outnumber those pages devoted to movies, theater, arts and sciences combined [2]. Advertisers spend more than $4 billion a year sponsoring sporting events, and our high schools spend a large part of the schools budget in physical education so that every child in the country can participate in sports at school [1]. In fact, many Americans know more about sports than they do about politics, economics, or their own Constitution [3]. they discuss sports with friends, relatives, and strangers more easily and intensely than any other subject.
