I don't want to minimize the white elephant status of the Big O (which it clearly was for us) but there are lots of huge stadiums out there that probably aren't used much more even if they have a primary tenant - usually either an NFL team with 8-9 home dates or an NCAA team with 7-8 home dates.
Throw in the odd concert and a monster truck and tractor pull and that's about it for how much use the facility gets in a given year.
Especially if they're open air and in colder climates those stadiums might even get less use than the Big O, and their revenue from events might be comparable or even less.
