This One Will Be Different, sports economist J.C. Bradbury draws from fifty years of academic research and his up-close and personal experiences with the Atlanta Braves's Truist (SunTrust) Park stadium deal to explain why publicly funded venues never deliver on their promises. Moving beyond the standard explanations of league monopolies and special-interest lobbying, Bradbury reveals how pliable politicians-drawn to the prestige and perks of professional sports-commit vast sums of public money for their own private gain. This book blends economic analysis, political insight, and vivid storytelling to examine the reasons why politicians continue to fall for the stadium grift and make the case for reform.
