Public financing for sports stadiums must include
a total cost and payoff of the loan.

The Astrodome (public financed) still has more
money owed then it cost to build it.

Just ask the good people of Montreal how long they spent paying off the Big O, which is now collecting bird droppings.

Public financing for sports stadiums must include a total cost and payoff of the loan.

And the opportunity cost. What could the tax payers have built with that $billion that was sucked out of the economy and spend on a stadium? That question is always ignored when the discussion of what a good deal "investing" in sports statiums is.
