* The figure for Major League Soccer includes all venue construction costs since 1996, the league's inaugural season. If a venue hosts more than one team it was included seperately for each individual team. For example, the Staples Center counted twice towards the NBA total (Clippers and Lakers) and once for the NHL (Kings). The data have been rounded to provide better understanding of the statistics.
