Heck...they ought to build them themselves. The San Francisco Giants did just that.

The era of government-funded stadiums should have long ago ended.

Aren't the Giants paying something like $20 million a year as debt-service for their ballpark?

The city, County and State spent, I believe, $165,000,000 for "infrastructure improvements" (roads, bridges, highways, transit, etc.) to "enable" the private financing.
