Taxpayers on the hook for stadium costs

'"These hidden or obscured costs add to the total cost ... and most of these hidden costs are public costs," Long said. '

'"Most of the time, you can't make any money directly from the stadium or stadium owners would've done it themselves," Matheson said. '

'The Atlanta Braves are the latest team to announce plans for a new stadium funded in part by the public. ', "A new pro sports stadium is good for team owners, but it's not always so good for the local taxpayer."

'Extra costs to taxpayers add up from a variety of sources: subsidies for the land, ongoing operational costs, capital improvements, city services and lost revenue from stadiums exempt from paying property taxes, Long said. '
