The taxpayers of Detroit laid out nearly $114 million to help build Comerica Park. Residents of Chicago are still paying a $100 million tab for Guaranteed Rate Field, home of the White Sox, built in 1991.

Cincinnatians funded almost 90 percent of the Reds’ home, Great American Ballpark. And the fine folks in Cobb County, Georgia, footed half the bill to give the Braves a new stadium not even in the city… 20 years after Turner Field was built in Atlanta, which had been home to Centennial Olympic Stadium.
