Dallas Cowboys stadium

The Cowboys really stepped in it.

7. Dallas Cowboys Stadium. This here’s a good news-bad news situation. The good news is that the powers-that-be behind the Cowboys’ new $1 billion stadium, opening later this year, have set their sights on sustainability, from a reflective roof to permeable pavement to game-day recycling, and are registering with the EPA to monitor long-term performance. That bad news is they’ve been involved in a major PR wreck—not to mention several lawsuits—over the use of eminent domain to secure land for the facility. Oh, and the stadium isn’t accessible by public transportation. Er ... points for trying?
