Those thousands and thousands may not own the restaurants, hotels, parking lots and everything else involved in events, but they do benefit from the taxes that are included on all that. I'm not arguing it either way, I'm just pointing out people complain about funding a stadium mostly because they don't look at the return. Personally, If I still lived there and got to vote, I would vote to build a new one but mandate it be a dome. Not because I like football in a dome, but because it could be then used for more events to bring in more income.
