QUESTION: Let’s assume a new Vikings stadium proposal at the existing Metrodome site included the following four requirements:
•
The Vikings would fund over 50% of the stadium’s construction and operating costs over the life of their lease.
•
A majority of the public contribution would come from gamblingdollars, with no new tax increases or use of general-revenue funds.
•
The City of Minneapolis contribution would use existing cityhospitality taxes and would not raise any new taxes.
•
Even though the Vikings would fund over 50% of the overall costs, the public would own the new stadium and it would be available forvarious public uses for at least 300 days out of the year.Based on this information, would you support or oppose a stadium
