The pursuit of public funds for football stadiums carries with it certain obligations that wouldn’t apply if football teams would simply build their own buildings. In Florida, the powers-that-be previously passed a law requiring venues that receive public funds to discharge an important public duty: provide shelter to the homeless when the buildings are otherwise not in use.

To date, the three NFL stadiums located in Florida, along with numerous other facilities, have failed to comply. Now, a pair of Republican legislators hope to force the stadiums to comply — or to refund the public money previously received.

Per the Palm Beach Post, Senator Mike Bennett claims that none of the 17 facilities that have received public assistance have complied with the law. This includes Tampa’s Raymond James Stadium, Jacksonville’s EverBank Field, and Miami’s SunLife Stadium.

I am sorry, but that seems like a really stupid law.
 
What's even stupider are those two republicans trying to enforce it. What a waste of time
 
I saw that....you know what I say....DON'T TAKE THE PUBLIC FUNDS!!!

I do not even know where to start with this...
 
Ross should say that bums were living in the stadium and show a picture of Marc Columbo...
 
Did someone say bum?

Pretty sad that homeless people are showing up at the stadium and not the fans.

Told you guys that place was garbage.
 
I cannot stand the government sometimes.
 
Glad to see politicians taking on the serious issues down there in Florida.
 
Although he might have nothing to do with it, it's not surprising considering who our governor is.
 
All the problems in the State and this is an issue for politicians?
 
If the professional sports teams didn't extort the state for public money, that could have been used for full-time shelters.

The state isn't at fault, the Dolphins are.
 
given the location of the stadium wouldnt it be relatively far for a homeless person to get to. Unlike Raymond James, which is in the city. i hate politicians
