You've got it backwards.
Sports are very popular, and stadium-lovers are vocal with their representatives.
But they are an outspoken minority. The majority of tax-payers do not support subsidizing stadiums.
And stadiums will get built regardless of whether the city gives them free money, because they're profitable. So why subsidize private profits from public coffers?
