Gov. Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania announced that the state will not fund new sports arenas, notably emphasizing this policy amid discussions about the future of the Eagles' stadium. With the Eagles' lease expiring in 2032, Shapiro emphasized that any decision regarding a new stadium should not rely on state finances, similar to the recent decisions concerning the NBA's 76ers. He expressed concern about the state budget and the need to prioritize essential services for residents while ensuring that professional teams have quality venues.
I'm very worried about the overall budget. You want to balance investing in tourism, investing in sports, with making sure that you're also investing those dollars in things that Pennsylvanians need most.
If a new stadium is proposed, it won't come with state money... I'm very worried about the overall economic situation given the federal cuts.
