    I wouldn’t call it very common. It is true that communities have paid for stadiums, etc… in the past to secure teams but I think that is an increasingly unpopular practice as it is seen as subsidizing the wealthy through tax payer funds.

    This is the same to me, rich people insisting the working class pay for something that they don’t need, want or will even be able to enjoy themselves

      Really? I swear every time I hear about an NFL stadium it’s been partially funded through public money and a threat to leave. Might be unique to the NFL then.
