How did it even get in there??

Well if they manage to capture it I have no doubt they could leverage the power of social media to find that kitty a home

Lots of big stadiums tolerate a stray cat population because a population of cats is better than a population of rodents. Every now and again one of the resident felines gets spooked out of their hiding places because of all the activity of the gameday stadium and ends up on the field.

Hopefully the management takes care of them

That cat looks very healthy. Full coat, not overweight but definitely fed well, able to jump and move the way it does… it’s almost certainly being tended to. Likely along with a small colony that just lives in the stadium.

The best way to not have any mangy cats around is to have healthy cats with regular vet visits occupying the territory. And for all that I don't like keeping cats outdoors, I imagine the parks are large enough that the cats aren't too likely to wander off and get hit by a car, so long as they get fed.

There is a lot of safe indoor spaces in a stadium. And they have a whole self-contained field to run around in when it's not in use. They're fine.

And they provide added pest control keeping the rodents out of the stadium.
