    I can’t help but even wonder if those stadiums actually turn a profit

    They don’t but I don’t think it matters. We shouldn’t care if school facilities turn a profit bc that’s the logic used to cut funding for the arts. A properly maintained stadium is actually good bc sports are good for community and they could be used for a lot of things besides just football games or whatever.

    The problem is we live under capitalism so the stadiums are overly expensive, contain a bunch of unnecessary bullshit like luxury box amenities (more of a college thing) and are built way too often.
