Our economic structure is conducive to great amounts of wealth for our citizens. That wealth is taxed and is used for infrastructure. Our infrastructure should reflect that wealth.
So kind of like 1st world countries like USA then?

FWIW, parts of me do agree public money should go towards building a stadium that is used by a large portion of the population. I just find it incredibly funny that you think free markets should be funding them and wealth should be taxed to fund public infrastructure. I also find it funny you don't recognize that developing countries are building new social infrastructure and thus its better... really, you might have travelled a little bit here, but I don't think you really know whats going on. Sorry to say...
