Except for the land part, this deal just about describes both the Giant's stadium (AT&T Park) and the U/C Warriors arena (Chase Center) in San Francisco. San Francisco, perhaps unlike Miami, happened to have a large brownfield site, a former rail yard called Mission Bay, which is being redeveloped over more than a decade in which is wanted to encourage development so it has made sites available to the 2 teams there, but the money for construction and subsequent ownership is all private and niether site will, when everything is finished, have much parking for cars. AT&T Park sits at what will be the juncture of 2 light rail lines and across the street from a commuter rail terminal. Chase center is on one of those light rail lines a bit further down the waterfront. Both stadia will also be seved by ferry/water taxi transportation.
