I just don't get how teams/cities can justify that cost for a baseball stadium. Football stadiums, maybe, but there are limitations to what you can do and what events you can host with a baseball stadium

Maybe but you’re hosting far more actual baseball games

If the 2B price tag includes an entertainment district it makes it easier to swallow

Sofi ruined it for everybody… along with Jerry world.
$2 billion for a stadium??? That’s just nuts.

Seemed like after the Miami Marlins boondoggle we were getting away from tax payers funded stadiums. Believe Clippers and Chargers/Rams stadiums were owner fund (mostly).

Ballpark = 81 home baseball games + concerts + occasional other event like the NHL Winter Classic.
NFL stadium = 8 or 9 regular season games + one or two preseason games + concerts + occasional other event like the NHL Winter Classic.
Spending on ballpark seems more reasonable to me.

They can't in almost any instance other than "look what I did with your money" and probably leaving office before the bill comes due.
