It seems like these days the best way to grab attention for an issue is to organize a protest and shut down a few blocks, even if the protest is misguided by pesky things like facts. That’s what a few hundred people did the other day protesting against a football stadium at Temple University in Philadelphia.
A group called the “Stadium Stompers” railed against the proposed $126 million stadium, a project with a January groundbreaking date planned. They have a number of objections to the stadium. One of the major ones on its website is that the university will infringe on lands beyond its campus and another concern is that the money used for a stadium can be used on other projects, like a health clinic.
