Then why am I not entitled to have the city build me a new office? My business generates tax revenue for the state.

If a sport is popular enough and (supposedly) generates that much economic activity, then the team owners and the local businesses that lobby for the taxpayer to build their stadium can pay to build it themselves. If they can’t afford to build it, the team (business) can fail or go somewhere else.

Pro sports stadiums are a disgusting and expensive form of corrupt crony capitalism.

I am not in the least against pro sports. But not when money is confiscated from me to pad their coffers.

Now they only last 25 years (Atlanta Braves, Texas Rangers, Tennessee Titans and formerly known as St. Louis Rams)
