Re: Dodger Stadium to get $500M makeover

Teams' reasons for supporting mass transit aren't entirely altruistic. The more that fans routinely commute to the stadium by mass transit, the less space that the club has to devote to parking spaces. Putting buildings where parking used to be increases revenue opportunities.

Also, since Federal money can be used for mass transit projects, putting in features to support mass transit can reduce the hit on local taxpayers.
