Well of course they can, and should, build it on their own dime, but like every other organization, they will try really really hard not to. Even if they are the ones putting up the bill for the actual construction, at the very least they will ask for some form of special treatment that is worth millions... infrastructure changes, land swaps, favorable tax-structure etc.
Has there been one stadium built in North American entirely with private funds and no special favors? If there has, I haven't heard about it.
