The NFL has successfully made itself a bully to local, state, and in a sense even the federal government. All these new stadiums are being financed by governments. If I recall, even JKC had FedEx paid for by PG County; the redskins just have a 30 year lease on the stadium.

Definitely not unique to DS.

If memory serves JKC built Fed Ex with his own money which is why he called it JKC Stadium and why DS changed the name as fast as he could. JKC did have PGC and the State of MD pay for road improvements and upgrades near the stadium but not the stadium itself.
