Fisht Olympic Stadium (Sochi)

Fisht Olympic Stadium stands as a $779 million monument to misuse, built for the 2014 Sochi Games but now sitting underused in a subtropical resort town with no major local sports team. Its occupancy rate has plummeted to just 12% of capacity in non-Olympic years, making it a textbook example of a white elephant venue. This wastefulness is 30% greater than the operational loss seen at the original Yankee Stadium, which at least hosted regular baseball games despite its obstructed views.
