With sports stadiums that is still a large transfer of taxpayer funds into the hands of private interests. I used to think stadiums were good for the local economy until I took an Economics of Sports course and learned they are often bad deals for the local city/county/state and the reason why is the leagues have leverage with relocation threats and even if the local city turns down the deal they will find somewhere else willing to pay for their stadium. A lot of the businesses that rely on the stadium often rely on it during the season and with the amount of money a stadium costs there are much better and more efficient things to help with things like employment and also projects that everyone can enjoy. The problem with the sports stadiums is even those that don't use the stadium and never have any plans to pay for the stadium.

I agree the environmental concerns for data centers are much worse.
