This.
I keep hearing that the city owns the stadium (yay! or yay?). Does that mean they're responsible for the maintenance? (boo) The revenue, is there a sharing to this, does the city get the revenue? 'cause it doesn't sound like it if KK is talking about a 'ticket tax', that sounds like they get the revenue on the ticket tax which probably means they get all the revenue, and that's a way to 'get back' their money they put in.
Very curious on that arrangement.
