Nothing about buying a stadium but there is more drama when you put it that way.

I guess the question is whether the public benefits from the stadium even being there. If you can't see the benefit, pass on the deal and let someone else "buy" them a stadium. If you do benefit, don't expect to have a free ride. You might be asked to buy gas once in a while. I don't know about you but I have seen college football game day in Madison, for instance. A lot of people are out spending money including out of town people so I don't know if it is fair to say "I can't see any financial benefit".
