It's fairly well established that publicly funded stadiums do not pay off economically for taxpayers.

They can't leave quick enough. I'm not a fan of publicly supporting stadiums and their owner's personal wealth.

>the people pushing these arenas (business networks usually headed by major banks) are interested in using them to either "attract high-priced corporate talent" to the city or to attract corporations to the city. As a result, business leaders want the city to be a tourist destination. They want good roads, plenty of parking, cultural recreations such as a sports stadiums, and good restaurants. They want, in short, to create a place that people will want to visit because they expect their high-priced talent to live in the suburbs, not the city. The politicians who represent the citizens of the city tend to go along with this vision because the voice of the business community tends to be the one they hear the most
