It's worth pointing out that neither The City of Dallas or New York City is building a football stadium. Both are being built in suburban jurisdictions. I know in Arlington, TX the taxpayers are chipping in $300M.

Also, it's disingenuous to say it will be used 8 times a year. Yes, there are 8 regular season games. There are also preseason games, playoff games, potential Super Bowls (if they dome it, which they), NCAA final Fours, a collegiate bowl game, concerts, etc. So I agree that wouldn't be worth $1B, but what would it be worth? $200M? What would the city be asked to contribute? It's more complicated than you're presenting.
