Maybe this will be the first time that council couldnt get their grubby hands on funding. End of play to payI like your post.
In D.C. the baseball stadium was paid for by a tax paid by businesses as well as a 'tax' on tickets, etc. sold at the stadium.
I remember reading that the revenue from these sources EXCEEDED the debt service and D.C. was making a 'profit' on the stadium [[so much for the councilmen who said it would cost the District's general fund money. Some, unbelievably, wanted to renovate RFK Stadium, a relic, with bad sight lines, etc. etc.).
As far as Detroit, anything which strengthens the District Detroit or downtown area is good for all in downtown. This is a case of a 'rising tide raises all boats.'
