Actually it’s more of an example of crony capitalism. Tax dollars benefiting politically connected private concerns.
Just as despicable IMO.
Not to mention millions upon millions of tax paying fans that may never set foot in the stadium, but who's lives are measurably enhanced by it's presence; the way it's been for what, 50 years now? If only the tax payer could have back all the money spent on Met Stadium and the Dome, then Minnesota would be a real place with real traditions and history, not those phony kind. Kirby who?
