## Opinion text

Concurring Opinion by
Mr. Chief Justice Bell:
The provisions with respect to a 40-year agreement and payments of deficits and debts by the City certainly violate the spirit and I believe the language of the Constitution mandated in Article IX, §§8 and 10.
There is probably no Judge on the bench who is as rabid a football fan as I, and who would like as much as I would to see an appropriate, attractive stadium built for football and other sports in Pittsburgh. How *506 ever, this furnishes neither an excuse nor a justification for violating the Constitution.
Nevertheless, because of several prior decisions of this Court — with which I strongly disagree — I feel obliged to concur in the result.
