Apparently the tax payers paid for the original construction. Quicken's owner paid for some upgrades and maintenance later.

Wikipedia tells a slightly unclear story: apparently this site was a farmers market going back to the origin of the city, and voters defeated a measure to build a stadium. But then some developers bought and cleared the site and the voters voted in a sin tax on booze to pay to build a new stadium complex.
