That is an interesting thing. I nicknamed it Corporate Socialism. It's when the government and a company are hard to see the difference. The stadiums in Seattle were paid for by Microsoft and others. You can tell what was paid for by the big companies in the area and regular planners.
True. Yeah, we don’t really have that in Aus, so much…
The stadiums are either publicly owned, or owned by the individual sports leagues… Teams do also own stadiums, but only really the ones they use as training grounds, no matter whether they could actually host games or not (confusing, I know)…
Nonetheless, you have the situation where leagues and/or teams can readily bully the government into absurd, totally unnecessary half-billion dollar knockdown-rebuilds, much like in the US…
Again, the line between private and public is extremely murky, there, and that is the problem…
Airports are also like this, in most Australian cities…
Airports are the same here.
