It's such a weird system. The city pays for all the upkeep, while the team owners get a ton of money from consessions, advertising, est.

If the proceeds from the games were actually going back into the city, I might be a little more willing. But like you said, it's a bad investment. I'd be very surprised if the city is even able to break even. And then, if the owners even decide to move the team, taxpayers just spent a ton of money for nothing.
