It is not an important point. It never will be. No one associates sports venues with "world class".

Go look at any world city rankings. How many of those cities have are there because of professional sports infrastructure?

I was just in Minneapolis. Two brand new stadiums; but we don't consider it to be "world class". Nobody is saying, lets go to Minny!"

Don't get me wrong, Minneapolis was a fine city and a fun one. We went there to use those facilities, but that wasn't what made the city worth visiting.
