If the city just slapped a 70 dollar ticket tax on each ticket, presuming 18,000 fans a game and 45 games a year they could recoup the 567 million in 10 years. Maybe that could be an idea to make it a user pay thing like many other city services.
If you spread out the ticket tax to Wranglers and Hitmen games, you could probably lower it to 55 bucks a ticket or so.
