Many sports team owners do have enough money to build an arena on their own, but they still always try to get the city or state to cover the majority of it since it brings visitors and revenue to the area. I moved from Minnesota and know that the former and current Minnesota Vikings owners are both billionaires, yet they have been pushing for years to get the state taxpayers to cover a new football specific stadium.
