This is where the Super Bowl is happening. This picture gives me the runs. I can only imagine the floodlights all evening and the noise when there’s an event there. Must be nice.
On one hand, my fellow Americans are partying around an annual event centered around a game of “football”.
On the other hand, we have one of the biggest stadium ever built right in the middle of a 30+ year black and brown enclave, displacing folks and doubling the rent or mortgage for others since the construction of that concrete whale started, to watch a bunch of mostly black men destroy themselves on a field while mostly white folks from across the country and the city watch, yell and scream for hours from their $4,000 seats, during Black History month, in a still going pandemic that hits black and brown neighborhoods the hardest.
Lovely.
