For the Giants stadium it makes sense because fans get to look out across the water the whole game, including all the cameras for television. For indoor, not really (even if they put a window in, which is a dumb idea anyway).
They probably thought they were building an iconic building like Sydney Opera house; which if as successful and Lacob/Guber had an ownership stake in, could have easily tripled or quadrupled the franchise value. Possibly making $1.5b profit from a sale after less than a decade ownership is a pretty sweet return on investment.
