Fenway is (supposedly) 100% privately funded. New Shea is privately funded (again, supposedly) for the structure itself, but all the stuff being improved around it is taxpayer funded, and that comes to about what the stadium runs. Note that Wilpon (who owns the Mets) counts city-backed bonds that he pays interest on as private funding, while the interest-free bonds he calls taxpayer-funded.
jg2977: No, you don't have to. It is a neat idea, and one that has been suggested for future versions of the game, if we can ever get a reasonable financial model in place. jmknpk2 is just trying ti humbug himself in a reasonable and interesting way.
