Sounds like we could be having Superdome like conditions with people staying in the stadiums for 1000 years.  Not to mention, what about the games?  Sounds like a scam to me.

i dunno, if we could get people buying $4 plates of nachos and $7 beers for 1000 years, i might just be inclined to tell the teams to play on the road for a while.

Only in the Catholic section.  :lol: The Baptists, mormons, and assorted evangelists will all be going for the $4 bottled water instead of the $7 beers.  I don't know if that upsets your business model.

The roof is going to have to be over parking lot M.  I don't want the roof blocking me from going Heaven when I get raptured.  :lol:
