With that said,not he stadium experience was great in 1998 (the last time I went to a game) Fans say the experience has since improved.

You are still coming up in December, right?

Great video about cities paying to have a sports stadium. Makes most corporate welfare look cheap.

Bucky, you say "tax break" like it's a negative. Breaks are incentives to bring a business in or to keep them there. Foxboro benefits GREATLY from the so called breaks.

If the pats left town they would have to RAISE the tax rate for home owners. Sounds like a good deal for everyone.

The revenue that is supposed to be collected is forgiven or subtracted to a minimal amount. That's revenue the city, county and state lose. That's money that could've been used for other useful things all taxpayers could use besides a toy for multi-millionaires that could afford to build their own monuments of Greed and Ego. Once they build them they price out the average family with seating licences, parking, concessions, and other kickbacks to the politicians looking the other way because they got theirs!

If some POS owner wants to move the team because they're they're having a little 3 year old in a check out lane meltdown gimmie gimmie tantrum....do what sane parents do. DON'T GIVE IN TO THEM! They're already holding a "gun" to your head saying they're going to move...well...MOVE! It'll cost ya!

dmv et al,

So what happens to the Foxboro resident if Kraft moves to Hartford?

Seems like you're letting your anti business bias dictate your response.

I bought a Joes cigar bid last month. Got FREE shipping on my whole order.

Damn that CI and their incentives for the rich...

We may not agree much on some US history, but we agree on tax incentives. 👍

The sad thing is some politicians just get star struck and mush headed by the presence of a processional sports person team owner. I could better understand their foolish choices if they were getting a kick back.

The new Cowboys stadium, which the tax payers got bent over for, is a rip off. I got some company tickets and here is the drill:

The parking voucher was $75. And the lot was about a mile from the front gate – no tram.

Only two kinds of beer; Miller and Miller lite. $9 please.

The stadium has the world larges TV – because most all seats are nose bleed and you can only barely see the players.

But – Jerry Jones is getting even more rich….

I'm not "anti-business" at all. I'm against the raping Corporate America is doing to it's taxpayers.

As for your deal with CI...hey if they want to eat it...and pass it along to you for the sake of clearing out a warehouse...go for it. Welcome to the "Perdomo Plan"!
