I wonder how NFL fans in Indianapolis feel about this deal.

Lmao oof. No taxes just long enough for the team to start thinking about relocate again and suckering someone else into another deal.StlAlex wrote: ↑3:48 AM - 23 days agoBears stadium deal in Indiana:
-100% property tax break for 40 years on all Bears facilities used in whole or part to manage and operate the professional team. This applies to everything, no matter the location, meaning it applies to property away from the mIn stadium campus.

The UFL clearly shows St Louis is the obvious place for the next NFL expansion football team. If the next generation of NFL owners considered promoting the Battlehawks to an NFL level team, would St Clair county in Illinois offer to build a new NFL stadium using the same financial bond tools used by counties in Kansas and Indiana?
Plenty of open space where the Columbia/Waterloo airport was scheduled to be built in the late 1970s. And a way to pull metro growth East away from Wentzville.

Why would Illinois support a stadium in St. Clair County, if they wouldn't support the Bears, either in Chicago or Arlington Heights. More importantly, WHY would Illinois support a stadium if it's going to require billions in tax breaks/financial support to get it?

The NHL is looking to break through the 32 team barrier.
If the NHL does this, will the NFL follow?

I asked AI this: “So outside of Wyandotte county, are other Kansas residents paying for the stadium?”
The answer was this: “The short answer is no, other Kansas residents will not see a new "stadium tax" added to their receipts, and their state income taxes aren't being raised to pay for it.”
Kansas is giving up revenue generated by the stadium, but they would not have that revenue anyway with or without the stadium.

But the problem is that STAR bond district is not just the stadium. They're also surrendering tax revenue from a much much larger area.gary kreie wrote: ↑3:42 PM - 4 days agoI asked AI this: “So outside of Wyandotte county, are other Kansas residents paying for the stadium?”

So you're saying the equivalent in Illinois could be St. Clair, Madison, and Clinton counties. I could imagine a pretty nice stadium in Shiloh just off I-64 near Mid-America airport and Scott AFB area.dweebe wrote: ↑4:05 PM - 4 days agoBut the problem is that STAR bond district is not just the stadium.

The riverfront in East St. Louis would be fantastic, especially with the Arch as a backdrop!
