    So not enough that cities have to subsidize stadiums, they have to subsidize player salaries too? 🤔

      This is utterly paltry compared to the cost of a stadium, and the LV convention bureau is funded by a dedicated hotel occupancy tax, not the city

      Eh, at least this is a marketing campaign. Not like the free tax giveaways with stadiums

        It has actually been shown that stadiums absolutely do not pay off for damn near any city that funds then with tax dollars.
