So far I've found out the following:

Tampa wants to donate 300 million dollars worth of land plus build a 
stadium worth between 160-200 million dollars.

The Bucs bring in about 80 million dollars worth of revenue.

The Bucs are planning on control of the of the stadium and keeping the 
revenue generated by other (Non-Football) events.

The Bucs have signed a 10 million dollar agreement with an out of town 
restaraunt (Houlihan's) to name the stadium after the restaraunt.


Okay - a lot of you feel good about having the NFL in Tampa.  So do I, 
but should the government pay for my feelings ?  And if this is such a 
good idea for Tampa why do they need to link the Tax proposal to a school 
tax proposal ?  Let it stand by itself !
  Personnaly I would support the school tax increase but because of the 
linkage they will both (hopefully) go down in flames.  

If you care to look this info came from the Tampa Tribune and links on
