[quote=Anonymous]I see several issues. Claiming that sales taxes will pay off in full the tax exempt financing is hard to believe, and the contrary regularly occurs with other stadiums. Claiming that an aggregate annual attendance at a football stadium justifies public money is contradicted by the facts. Football stadiums draw at best 1 to 1.2 Million fans a year. Baseball and basketball/hockey arenas blow those numbers away, and are cheaper to build. And NFL claims to be the richest sports league in the US, so show it. But Virginia does not have a major professional sports team, and Virginia probably deserves one. So perhaps pursuing the Commanders makes some sense. State pride, etc.[/quote]
