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…
