In 2013, major sports stadiums cost several hundred million dollars or more. In densely populated areas, the sports team often spends the highest proportion in building a stadium. In less desirable areas, the cost is mostly born by taxpayers. Judith Grant Long reported, "the general consensus amongst economists, is that [stadiums are] not a good investment, simply because they don’t create enough net economic benefits in the way of job creation or tax revenues to warrant the scale of the investment.”[24]
