The same would be true if you hired a bunch of scientists/engineers and got them to do R&D.
Would it also be true if you hired a bunch of construction workers and got them to build a stadium?
Buildings have to be depreciated, so probably? If you have to depreciate a building if you buy it, why should you get a free pass just because you built it yourself?
