Available money for stadium build and associated transportation infrastructure - Obama loans makes this not the issue.

Some key issues are
the available skilled workforce in the right places for the right duration,
the planning,
project management,
the planning constraints & permissions, and of course,
the making sure 100% of the funds get spent on the projects and are not diverted into pockets.

It will happen, it will look good on TV,
but many infrastructure opportunities - especially in the quality of build because of collapsing time-frames - are being lost all down the line and in all parts of the country.
