I don't know if League rules would permit a baseball club to be owned my a municipality. The NFL won't let that happen again thanks to Green Bay.
It's possible for public financing of stadia to occur, but it should only happen if there's a public purpose. It'll take a lot to prove to me that low-wage jobs at stadia are going to be the basis for economic growth in the region. Without support from the economics side, a stadium deal better help achieve the City's goals -- I don't think that hosting professional sports franchises is one of the goals. Creating a link between a stadium and the greater public good will require creativity and a great marketing campaign.
