32 In order to create the most comparable rankings, the list focuses on the cost of the stadium alone. It does not address
33 the wide range of other variables involved in stadium projects including: payments for infrastructure improvements,
which benefit the teams and the public; land grants, which can be difficult or impossible to value consistently; and the
34
benefit some teams get from low-interest loans subsidized by government agencies.
