'NFL plays offense to get public money for stadiums'

In the Miami Herald, Victor Matheson, associate professor of economics at the College of the Holy Cross, adds to the discussion about the return of public money to fund new National Football League (NFL) stadiums.

"We had a real lull from the beginning of the Great Recession," said Matheson. "Just in the last year, however, we've seen the tide turn. ... We have a little bit of a backlog, so you're seeing a bunch of stadiums on the table now."
