Unrelated, but If most people follow the NFL, they wonโt be surprised about the quality of most of these stadiums.
Americans thrive more on entertainment, so they make their stadiums look grand, to meet their taste.
Also, the cost of tickets for NFL games in comparison to that of football tickets in Europe.
To put it into context, the price of a UCL ticket ranges from โฌ70 to โฌ950. But the cheapest Super Bowl ticket is at $4k
What I am saying is that the revenue a club generates from ticket sales greatly determines how much they can spend on developing its amenities.

Something common among them and many more; naming rights.
Those corporations didnโt build the stadiums, they just bought the naming rights.
What this means is that the company just paid to have its name attached to the stadium, consider it as a sponsorship deal.

Makes me remember when we wanted to rent a house in Abuja.
We saw a place for 5.5m and it was nice so we decided we could split it up and pay.
Completed every document, then the landlord said he wonโt tent it out to us because he wants a working class person.
A medical doctor came but said he could only pay 4m.
The landlord still refused ๐๐ญ
