I would rather have some corporation pay for it than the residents of San Francisco. I would rather hope the teams would pay for it, but they don't. The exception is that fans own a share in a stadium like in Green Bay. I guess by doing that, they have a say in most things regarding the stadium..the 49ers could not find such a sponsor and had the city of Santa Clara build them one. I wonder if that will ever come back to haunt them, for making that kind of decision.
