let us see -
take money out of the economy to build something nobody sane would build with their own money and create low paying jobs selling beer and hotdogs for 42 days a year.

A recent study found that most stadiums do not cause growth. Now, the Ballpark in Arlington and JerryWorld, aka ATT Stadium, home of the Cowboys, have seen significant growth. Also, there has been a significant amount of growth around the American Airlines Center in Dallas. But the growth is due more to the overall growth of the cities, not specifically the stadiums. For example, Six Flags is adjacent to the Ballpark in Arlington, and brings in thousands daily, open most of the year.
