For some historic context, Enron Field lasted two seasons and CMGI Field less than one, from what I can tell? I wonder who holds the record.
I mostly agree on the gambling front too - gambling was bad enough when you had to lure people to a casino but at least that gave them the excuse of "It's my form of entertainment, it's like going to a nightclub."
"The best minds of my generation are thinking about how to make people click ads" -- not any more! Now they're trying to find the shortest distance between users' wallets and their RSUs. On the plus side, they can use all of the targeting and persuasion techniques that have been used to make TikTok/Instagram so addictive on directly separating users from their money. Forget selling a product!
