Then it should be privately financed.

From a current stadium perspective you are doing period maintenance, - new roof, and making the viewing experience more comfortable for the population that already goes there.

Not sure why that is something the government should be involved with.

Unless part of the plan is to make it any less of a pain the ass to get to, where's the upside for anyone who isn't already a participant?

I'll give you too example, Billy Joel and, I think it was Hopkins, a big lax game on a Friday night a couple of years ago.    Both were traffic disasters, and that's because you had the attendees all trying to land there at the same time.   It illustrates the increased footprint of the build out in the area and the resulting traffic congestion in the area.

With football you have tailgating and planned satellite parking.   With basketball, the back court.   There are ways in which people can phase getting to the facility.   With other events, you don't.
