A first: A Super Bowl in an unsubsidized stadium

Published



There are 32 teams in the NFL. Twenty-eight of those 32 play in a stadium built with taxpayer money, according to Travis Waldron and Pat Garofalo. Two more teams play in a stadium expanded through government subsidies. The other two teams are the New York Giants and New York Jets, who both play in MetLife Stadium — where Sunday’s Super Bowl will be played.

So, this Super Bowl will be the only Super Bowl in years (and for years to come) to be played in a stadium not built on corporate welfare. Enjoy.
