So taxpayers pay for profit driven stadiums yet receive no return on the investment other than "jobs"..Its been proven that these buildings dont provide that much boost to the economy. If there were no football team...those people would spend the $200 somewhere else...and likely not in such a consolidated manner.
They can argue construction...but there is a crumbling infrastructure that the money could be used for...thus producing "jobs". That allocation of funds benefits the society as a whole...not just NFL fans and their handful of billionaire owners.
