I can see your point but being a home owner I would worry about the stadium portion becoming obsolete within 40-50 years whereas the buyers of a condominium would want the value to continue to escalate and would hope that the condo portion would be around for much longer. I think that there are people who would buy a condo with a view of the stadium field but would likely want it to be detached from the stadium structure.
