While they are bigger markets, I still think we're being fed a bunch of nonsense about how it's impossible for do this without taxpayer dollars.

Someone can definitely correct me if I am wrong but at least in the case of UBS it was privately financed but they did receive the land for the arena as a "gift" from the state. Essentially not a public investment or financing of the project but a significant value of public assets that goes unaccounted for.
