Are you ****ing kidding me? The taxpayers of the cities these teams are located paid for the bulk of this. The only owner that I'm aware that footed the bill for their own stadium is Jerry Jones. Get the **** out of here with that shit.

Well, kind of. Jerry's the only one I know of who actually paid for the whole thing, but the owners regularly CONTRIBUTE to building costs. I believe that Clark threw in like $50m or so for the Arrowhead renovation, but I can't remember where I read that.

I know the owners pay for some of it, but that's called a friggin' investment. They wouldn't be laying that money out if they weren't getting a return on it, these people didn't become billionaires by throwing their money into a hole.
