Product Review
A spectacular creation. As the Star Tribune’s main reporter of Minnesota’s protracted, internecine stadium wars, Weiner brings a unique perspective. -- Minneapolis Star Tribune
Jay Weiner is my new role model as a thoughtful, precise and idealistic fan. -- Robert Lipsyte, New York Times
Stadium Games has some enlightening lessons for people and government officials around here. . . . interesting. -- Long Island Business News
Stadium Games should be required reading in the front office of the Cardinals, at City Hall and the Missouri Capital. -- St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Tells how former Governor Carlson created the threat of Twins selling the team to gain support for funding a stadium. -- Washington Times
The longtime Minneapolis Star Tribune reporter unreels a history of Twin Cities ballpark shenanigans that put George Steinbrenner’s to shame. -- Village Voice
Reader Reviews
This 500 page book could easily have been half as long, and twice as effective, with a good editor. Weiner is a newspaper reporter that obviously became drunk on the idea of not being held to time & length limitations as he usually is in the newspaper. He is very repetitive and it takes away from some of the very sound ideas that he proposes. Skim this one.
