Having a beautiful ballpark in which to play major-league sports instead of shoring up education, public health, or the abatement of environmental damage is poor compensation. If there is to be public funding of sports stadiums, then let it be through regional bonds that get paid through admissions costs and built-in profits from concessions. The poor people who end up paying the taxes to suburban fans who buy the tickets don't get to watch many games.
Sports entertainment is not a necessity for a good life as is quality education.
