No, but the taxpayers do and they voted to build the stadium with their tax money.
The taxpayers understand how economies work and saw that this made sense.
But a lot of Americans don't see it that way because they have been programmed by
old logic that makes them believe that athletics are for stupid people and it's a useless activity.
They think that way even though a shitty boxing match just earned more the the
gross domestic product
of some smaller countries.

The
anti-football people are basically idiots who are holding onto
ancient dogma that doesn't fit
into a modern society where entertainment produces more revenue than factory jobs.
A top pro football player's 5 year contract cost more than that football stadium.

The irony of the above contract list is that people who say it's ridiculous will then claim that
Michael Jackson deserved every dime he made for singing and dancing while grabbing his imaginary balls.
