A New Open Thread That Will Smell Clean, Then Slowly Decay Until It's Putrid And Stale »

Miami-Dade County Will Be In A World Of Hurt In About 20 Years
Open thread, but found this interesting.
I missed this story early this year, but Miami-Dade will pay back $1.2 billion on a bond package valued at $91 million starting in the late 2020s for the Miami Marlins new stadium. This is only one on the bond packages. The total is close to $2.5b on $500 million borrowed. Amazing.
Meanwhile, Major League Baseball's attendance is down around 2.9% and the Miami Marlins alone are responsible for 40% of that.
Is anyone aware of any examples of public financing of sports team stadiums working out well for taxpayers? I'm really asking. Please link one in the comments if you find any.
