Conservatives believe in trickle down economics. They consider this public money as an investment for tourism and business, bars, hotels etc., called economic impact. I myself have taken out of town clients to Flames games, often their first hockey game in person.
In the US conservative states such as Texas, Florida and Georgia have huge arena and convention center budgets.
