A shittily run business wanting tax money for their dome? Screw that. These domes do not provide the economic benefits the team owners portend they do. Jimmy and Dee Dee run the poorest managed business in its industry. Why the fuck should taxpayers be asked to give them a nickel more?
Yeah, the NFL is rolling in money. No team should be asking the taxpayer to support building a new stadium. But of course the owners will threaten to move to extract concessions, like just about any business. But as you point out, cities need to just say no because there's no economic benefit.
Of course, governors and mayors hoping to get re-elected don't want to get blamed for losing a pro team.
