That’s how you prevent people improvising their own way.

No, that's how you completely destroy anyone's ability to get anywhere...

Because no one would ever want to wait, so they'd constantly be widening every path.

Like, how often do you think an NFL game is even played at this one location?

And who's paying for it?

Does the hotel have to pay for it? The stadium because that's where people go?

The entire community they taxes even though they'd be the last ones to utilize a bridge that goes from a hotel to a stadium? They'll already have to deal with the major road closure to build the sky bridge no local will ever use

Like, I understand the spirit of your point and that's it's coming from a good place, but you don't understand any of what goes into just this one narrow aspect that slightly inconviences maybe a couple thousand out of town era 8 days out of the year.

No, the thing I don't understand is why they wouldn't build any pedestrian or cycling infrastructure around stadiums and hotels in the first place.
