Why is tax money used for these stadiums? The working saps that are paying the taxes will never see the inside of them. Can’t afford to.
I’m completely against tax money being spent on a wealthy playground.

Joe Robie Stadium in Miami was built with private money. All of them should be.

In general the less attractive your location, the more leverage the teams have and public dough needed. The new LA SoFi palace was all private funding. Vegas was about 50/50.
Here in Indianapolis, it was actually 100% public funded over and above the cost of the stadium, as the Irsays get all the cash from all the events there, even stuff like high school games.
