Sports stadiums and rapid transit systems were fair game even before the SCOTUS ruling. Indianapolis didn't have to wait.

That is correct. They've been stealing land in Florida for years.
A couple of years ago they condemned the whole Daytona Beach Boardwalk so high dollar developers could take control. They displaced people who had businesses on land their families had owned for generations.
This ain't new.

Lekker is correct. These examples are "public use" and would have been permissible before yesterday's ruling.

What you are missing is that the potential litigation has gotten much cheaper and less time-consuming with the Supreme Court's removal of almost any basis for a challenge.
