To the "average" person, a stadium is much more useful than pictures of a distant ex-planet. Sport is entertainment and a stadium is something that people can visit and gain enjoyment out of for years to come. A picture is mild entertainment once, maybe twice, ever.
Don't get me wrong, I am all about exploration & I think it's very cool that we are taking up close pictures of planets and trying to learn more about our solar system, but why is that being compared to a sporting complex?
