If the owners can't afford a stadium they should sell bonds and raise debt and pay it off over time like everyone else in the world when they want to spend more money than they have. They put that burden on municipalities because they can. I don't know how that didn't enter the discussion.

Sash! posted:I don't get to a lot of sporting events, but I've been inside five NFL stadiums, three MLB stadiums, two hockey arenas, and two college football stadiums. Everything from mixed used nightmares like whatever Dolphins Stadium is currently called and Three Rivers to gleaming monuments to the hubris of man like Nats Park and Heinz Field to the titanic monstrosities that are Beaver Stadium and Neyland Stadium. I've sat in the peasant rabble of the deck above the upper deck to being able to put my feet up on the dugout roof or heckle players on the sideline and have them hear me. The club levels I've been on made me wonder why those people were even at the game in the first place. You can sit at a bar and watch the game literally anywhere. The only experience I haven't had in a stadium is sitting in a luxury box. Club level at Heinz is pretty great, and this year I will get to see the Cards.

Ultimately the problem with NFL stadiums is that they get used like 8 days a year. Blowing a billion or two on a stadium that has no purpose for 357/365th of the time is idiotic. There's a reason why baseball stadiums are far, far easier to finance and get built. Mulit-use stadiums sure seem to suck when you're watching your NFL team play on a baseball diamond, but dedicating several acres of prime downtown real estate and a billion dollars of taxpayer money for a facility that sits empty almost all the time just doesn't make sense, even if you can find suckers willing to pay for it.

AT&T Stadium has held the following non-NFL events since opening in 2009: NBA NBA All-Star Weekend NCAA Football College Football National Championship Big-12 Championship Cotton Bowl Cowboys Classic Southwest Classic Baylor/Texas Tech Shootout NCAA Basketball Handful of games including the 2014 Men's Final Four WWE WrestleMania 32 in 2016 Soccer 3 Gold Cups 2 World Football Challenges Boxing 2 Manny Paquiao fights Supercross Annual AMA Supercross Championship Monster Truck Annual Monster Jam event Concerts Beyonce/Jay Z Paul McCartney U2/Muse Taylor Swift x2 (3rd concert later this year) George Strait x2 Rolling Stones Jonas Brothers One Direction Misc 2015 Country Music Awards Professional bull riders event Several local HS football games (my cousin played a game there!) 2011 US Women's Bowling championship EFL Semi-Pro Football Pro Bowl game International Federation of Gymnastics World Cup event Reebok's Spartan Race Whatever this was: "Cowboys Stadium hosted the first opera simulcast in a sports venue in northern Texas when the Dallas Opera's performance of Mozart's "The Magic Flute" was broadcast to an audience of about 15,000 on the Cowboys Stadium video screen from a closed-circuit feed of the live performance at the Winspear Opera House in Dallas about twenty-five miles away."

Yeah. If we generously call that 50 events in the last six years, that improves utilization to an amazing ~16 days per year! And most of those events have much lower ticket prices than an NFL game. Throw in some preseason games, maybe a few playoff games, you're still struggling to hit 20 days per year. Meanwhile, a major league baseball stadium hosts 162/2 = 81 days per year of utilization, and that's not including the other events held in the facility. An NBA team arena hosts 82/2 = 41 days per year, plus a basketball court is a lot smaller than a baseball field or football field, so the overall stadium footprint can be smaller, and they're all indoors so they can all host year-round events irrespective of the weather. NHL teams also do 82/2 = 41 days per year, and an indoor ice rink can host lots of other events too, although (I'm guessing) maybe some of them aren't great at doing non-ice events? I don't know. The point is, all those filler events are completely essential for any chance of an NFL stadium to earn money, whereas they're just revenue-enhancing items for most other sports teams.

I don't know. Honda Center hosts the Ducks, an Arena Football team, the occasional basketball game, and a shitload of concerts every year. It's way more economical to have a general-purpose stadium.

It's okay for a major city to have a mega huge stadium (bigger than ideal for baseball) to host mega huge events even if it isn't used that often. It's just part of being a big city. A stadium on the RFK site in DC is a great idea. Landover...err, less so. But the real problem is replacing the buildings way too fast. If a stadium is going to be built to host rare major events it should be built to last a long, long time. They can't be rebuilding them every 20 years. They should be built to last 100 years with renovation, not total rebuild every time the architecture goes out of style. And yeah, roofs are a good idea in cold weather cities for new buildings you want to host a lot of events. Forget the football purity.

St. Louis, San Diego, and Oakland were all supposed to give stadium proposals to the NFL in Chicago today. Oakland's proposal: http://www.mercurynews.com/raiders/ci_28392872/exclusive-oakland-stadium-deal-worst-by-far-raiders TLDR: Holy gently caress this is bad San Diego's proposal: http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/2015/aug/10/stadium-financing-chargers-eir-chicago/ TLDR: 33% public funded, 67% privately funded, 1.1 Billion dollars all together. St. Louis: I haven't been following and don't have a good link, but they're probably ahead of San Diego and definitely Oakland right now. Here are the new renderings for the San Diego site:

The usage conversation made me look up what KC's stadiums are doing. Kauffman pretty much just has the Royals, Arrowhead has the American Royal BBQ contest and Mizzou/BYU through the end of the year aside from whatever Chiefs games. The Sprint Center which doesn't even have a team to play there is booked pretty solidly for the next two months. With a bunch of stuff that I have no interest in, but it does seem to be hosting events fairly often.
