Conduct an objective marginal analysis as covered by the text; objectively weigh marginal benefits and marginal costs of the use of taxpayer monies to pay for the construction of stadiums/sports facilities for professional teams. Determine whether or not if the marginal benefits outweigh the marginal costs.Note that this is a research assignment and not an opinion piece.

Please format your response as per below:

1. Identified marginal benefits.

2. Identified marginal costs - what opportunity costs are generated by the decision?

3. Do the marginal benefits outweigh the costs? Why or why not?

Note that this is a societal level marginal analysis so your costs and benefits must be societal level. Also, marginal costs are the opportunity costs which you need to identify.
