beta, is there still a downtown add'l sales tax to pay for the dome's original construction? or had that ended? i'd look for it to come back/continue to fund the repairs...
TIF districts? tax incremental financing? i think they are trying to get a new stadium built with tax-payer money, and i think they should build it. people around here don't seem to understand what the impact will be if the team leaves. ex. cleveland and baltimore; both similarly sized cities, after losing their teams, became second class cities, and they then spared no expense to get nfl teams to locate there.
i am adamantly against sports teams getting massive taxpayer funded 'gifts' like stadia that the public can't personally use, especially when said organizations can afford to pay their players more than the cost of the stadium.
effing retarded.
if you want to build a dynasty to stroke your ego, fund it yourself.
btw, that is awesome footage.

that was pretty crazy
the best thing that could have happened to the dome.
