To host a game requires all the crew except the concessions, crowd control etc. Are stadiums just going to have to pay their staff and bear it?

The owners of stadiums are paid to host games by the teams that call those stadiums home. I would suspect that the wages of stadium workers are essentially paid by the lease or rental agreements that the stadium owners have with the teams.
