  1. Anyway to shade us fans and give us some comfort is the biggest plus. First half the season is unbearable and is the main reason I cancelled my season tickets

  2. To put this in perspective money wise to us commoners.
    United States population is 420 million…if each person could get 1 million dollars apiece they would still have a billion $ to build a stadium.
    That means every citizen in the United States could be a millionaire.
    It's truly mind boggling

  3. Crazy we have 1.4 billion for a stadium for a team that can’t win for ish but not enough money for our school system and kids already lacking intellectual and rather be in streets

  4. I don't understand why such elaborate stadiums are needed. Don't get me wrong, looks amazing, like a freaking spaceship, but $1.3B is crapload of money especially the half from taxpayers. Old stadiums and domes were nowhere near as expensive even with inflation, and they still did the job.
