Taxpayer-funder Knoxville stadium critics speak out

Some community members say Knoxville stadium deal would be a swing-and-a-miss for taxpayers Critics of the downtown stadium project say public money would be better spent on education, community safety, and roads. Author: WBIR Staff, John Becker Published: 2:56 PM EST February 18, 2021 Updated: 7:02 PM EST February 18, 2021 KNOXVILLE, Tenn.
