I don't think there's a problem. For one thing, I think for most people that would come under the same category as a city -- even if it's privately owned, structures like that become landmarks and to me enter the public imagination, as it were.

Technically, there's no law that I'm aware of that prohibits things like real companies (McDonald's, Wal-Mart, whatever) from being referenced in fiction; the only risk comes if something could be seen as libelous (or there may be a different legal term when it relates to an entity instead of a person; I forget). So, for example, if you write a thriller about fast-food company execs conspiring to poison people, you'd probably want to make up a fictitious company for that just to be on the safe side.

But if your characters are just showing up at the stadium, or other plot elements happening there that aren't connected to whoever owns or operates it, I don't see an issue.

Not a lawyer, of course >^_^< but that's my take on it.

Thanks Renee! I've got my finale figured out now thanks to this little detail. A stadium will be perfect...
