But this is what the NFL owners do. Fans? Not important. Tax benefits? Very important.

Players cut is calculated solely on a percentage of league wide revenue...
TV deals, betting, advertising, merchandise, licensing rights for video games etc. even ticket revenue is only partially the local team.

But deals like this cut operating costs which put extra money on owners pockets only.

Benefits the billionaire class and not the millionaire class

The billionaires should build their own playthings. Billions for corpoate welfare, zilch for the needy/education.

Mahomes drew me in. I live outside of Topeka so it is not going to be too far but I also do not attend the games. I am thrilled that someone, ANYONE in this state thought about spending the money to make more here and to provide something good for the public.

We need this, this old, stodgy state needed to be pushed.

I'm a lifelong resident at age 62 and I've always wanted to have a top-level pro franchise of some kind.

Who knows, maybe the Royals will make a similar move.

I am afraid that would start a war! We have lots of good, flat land so who knows?

I had kinda, sorta hoped the stadium would be closer to me, Topeka-ish in the boonies. After all the idiocy over the race track here in Topeka and the idiocy over the Country concerts that got swallowed back up elsewhere because we could not manage anything I figured it would not begin to touch this place and it is too close to my farm so....it is still nice where it is going. The Royals would be great to come here too.

They better hurry, at 72 I want to see this happen.

All we got for it is two losing teams and a tax bill from subsidizing the team owners, plus stadium seats that only the wealthiest among us can afford to sit in.

Guess what? Part one may not come true for you. But the second and third parts will.

That's why voters in several cities have vetoed tax subsidies for owners to buy or renovate stadiums. Good luck. I'm glad they ain't wanting to move to N.J.
