Treat it more like a really low interest-rate loan....but a loan nonetheless.

I'd also be in favor of a system where you could allocate a portion of your taxes to certain projects or streams. And if you chose to allocate it towards a stadium, you'd get some sort of discounted rate for events there. People who don't, won't have to pay into it....but will have to pay more money to use it if they ever choose to.
What about instead of a portion of your tax, its a voluntary payment on top of your taxes?
