For the record, N.E. Patriots paid for their stadium and continue to pay all upgrade costs. They just finished an expensive upgrade.

There also is a train stop on the property. Even though it is a commuter line, it's not busy. The hours kinda suck. But, better than nothing.

Their original stadium (Foxboro) cost an incredibly-low $7 million to build circa 1970. Rather than building a bowl-like structure fully above ground like conventional stadiums, they instead dug a stadium-shaped hole in the ground and filled it with seats - a really practical way to do something like this, as long as you don't mind the flooding.

I remember it well. Shoveled snow out of the stands with FHS groups for $$.

Then Kraft built Gillette for $325 million. Just spent millions more on upgrades.
