According to Google (loosely), rustlers were lynched in the late 1800s,
whereas blacks were lynched both then and in the early 1900s.
Hanging was the method of execution in many states well into the 20th
century.
Sure. But not with the same threat of local spontaneity.
Meanwhile, your "noose-finder" suggestion has promise...
This new stadium being built next to one built in the 1990s (which will
be torn down) is an extravagant boondoggle for state taxpayers anyway
as far as I'm concerned. The Kansas City Chiefs have been in the same
stadium since 1972 so obviously a swanky stadium has no effect on a
football team's performance.

You don't understand the difference between a lynching and a judicial execution?
(The last two executions in Canada were in 1962 and were done at the
same time by hanging. Until capital punishment was ended in 1976, a
mandatory appeal was required. My grandfather was a jury foreman on a
capital murder trial - it was the accused second trial after an appeal
had resulted in a new trial. They had to first agree to guilty or not
guilty and if guilty whether or not they recommended mercy. "Mercy"
meant a more or less automatic life sentence - and he said that
despite having not "no reasonable doubt" but zero doubt the accused
was guilty, recommending to deny mercy was the hardest thing he ever
did in his life. Following a death sentence all such cases were
referred to the federal cabinet to be passed or commuted to life
imprisonment and all such cases were commuted from 1962 - 1976.
As you can probably tell, my grandfather and I discussed the case on
several occasions in my senior high school years)

Is the new stadium being built for a major sports event such as the
soccer World Cup or the Olympics?
I know that the family that owned the #1 radio station and the local
NHL hockey team in our town built a new ice arena for them. The
project ran heavily over budget and in the end they lost both the
station and the team.

Developers always hype these glitzy projects up with promises of new
jobs beyond the actual construction of the stadium which never seem to >happen.

Primarily for the NFL team, the city already recently built a nice
soccer stadium although it isn't big enough for something like the
World Cup.
