That's a good point, but let's get real here. The Yankees franchise is one of the most valuable team in any sports league on the planet, and yet they leech off the taxpayers of New York City to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars to finance their playground.

I say this as a Yankee fan, too.

Here in Indy, we not only paid for a $700 mil stadium for the Colts, but the Colts get the revenue from other events there. Talk about a gravy deal for the Irsays.

The state high school football playoffs are probably going to have to move to smaller venues because the cost of renting the new stadium is prohibitive.
