Everyone often bleats out "bread and circuses" at everything but I think this is one area where that actually applies. It wins you votes to keep the city-branded circus in town even if it means kowtowing to billionaire team owner whims.

Is this meme reporting live from Las Vegas, Nevada?

Because putting a stupid underground concrete bendy-straw full of manual-driving Teslas instead of...a subway system, and building like 8 more stadiums that shut down traffic and give us nothing but $600 concert tickets on Ticketmaster ....is totally this city's jam right now.

A typical stadium that costs that much generates profits of like $100-200M per year. So if the city isn't dumb enough to pay that much for it and not get a sizeable portion of that income, they can fund a comprehensive public transit system with that new money without going to debt.
