It's $325 million that the city will end up financing with the NFL throwing in another $150 million. This comes out to $475 million dollars, or about half as I originally stated.
Yes, I know Jones will foot the bill for the rest of the money. This isn't even what I was saying in the first place. I was just reminding everyone of why the Cowboys are the "most valuable" franchise in pro football, and it isn't because there's 25,000 bandwaggoners in South Florida. It's because that monstrosity of a stadium is going to boost their revenue astronomically.
Re: Where are all the Saints fans?
You are right about that, but I think they were already near the top before the stadium.

So why were they the most valuable before that happened?
