The vegas Raiders stadium will be the last stadium built in part with government funds. They actually got the State of Nevada (but no city/county governments) to help pay for it all.
Across the freeway stands the TMobile arena, which was all privately funded. Behind Madison Square Garden, TMobile arena is the 2nd most booked arena in the country. In other words, a privately-funded arena is able to be a raging success.

Arenas in big cities are always ok. They seat 20k people and can be used for basketball (pro and college), hockey, concerts etc.
An 80k seat stadium with a 20k parking lot is a whole different ball of wax. Football, and if you’re in NJ, a few Springsteen concerts.
