sorry, wrong. synder/cook paid for this stadium in full. In fact, synder still owes about 350$million on it... how the **** is that free? concessions definately cost the team money, the fact that they make it back doesn't mean otherwise.

The Squire was likely the last owner to build himself a stadium. In most other places, like Pittsburgh, the taxpayer got the bill. As for concessions, the team in most cases gets all the revenue without the risk because the stadium authority contracts with the supplier. Same for parking. Pretty sweet deal if you ask me.
