I've been wondering about that. Is it worth having the indoor facility for a Final Four once every 15 years and a couple of Taylor Swift concerts every five years?
Funding NFL stadiums with taxpayer money is the biggest rip-off in sports. At least baseball stadiums have 81 home games a year and NBA/NHL arenas are ideal concert venues. As you stated, what can NFL stadiums be used for outside of eight games a year? There are very few artists who can fill a football stadium and you will be competing with a bunch of other cities that have NFL stadiums to host other major sporting events.

I believe there’s been a number of studies that have shown sports stadiums in general are not the economy boom that they are hyped up to be.
Teams get to collect real cash while the taxpayers get the implied benefit into the economy (ie nada)

It worked here in Atlanta with MBS, but it helps that we have a retractable roof.
