Is it? Or is this just the one that people are actually aware of, because it is completely public in detail. Lanny_MacDonald is right, this is how things get done. And for the people saying some arenas have been built with no public money, there may be a few in the very largest cities, but otherwise, they almost invariably include tax breaks, free land, promotional rights, and/or other incentives.
