$200 million in tax dollars. Lessee, that's about $153 per person in this city with the current population. I'd pay that in taxes to:
1. see an ugly area of city re-developed
2. see the city I was born and raised in get a fieldhouse for use by amateur athletes
3. see a facility that will allow us to host a wide range of events in a wide variety of sports, business and cultural events.
And you know what, I'm happy the business is putting up $200M of their own money too. That's a load more than what a lot of owners are putting up.
