While that may be the final price tab, that isn't the public's contribution (to the extent that you accept that there is a public contribution that isn't reimbursed by tourists [room tax, increased economic activity, increased entertainment, sales and gambling tax receipts, etc.]). Unlike any of the other stadiums that were built with public money, they didn't have a private investment of $650M (Adelson money)+ $500M (NFL money.<br /><br />The addition of those 2 sources reduces the bond funding from the state to $750M. The state further saves money because of the agreement to use this stadium for UNLV purposes. Without this stadium the price tag for a UNLV only stadium was 300-500M which would be paid from public funds. Using the conservative number, the public is kicking in maybe 450M for a state-of-the-art stadium, that can be used for additional purposes when a game isn't scheduled and which can only increase economic activity and the tax base.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7637960526696603209.post-21649559539064712512016-10-17T15:52:16.117-07:002016-10-17T15:52:16.117-07:00Absolutely.

I refuse to believe you couldn't build a decent enough stadium for $650M.

Boyd is a dump fire. A $500M 35-50k seat stadium for UNLV closer to campus would be a great benefit for UNLV athletics (not just football) and you could STILL sell some pretty big evemts like UEFA games, college neutral-site games, and bigger concerts than we can host now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7637960526696603209.post-8296862956591471452016-10-17T13:37:52.258-07:002016-10-17T13:37:52.258-07:00Exactly as predicted: NDOT will shuffle things in...Exactly as predicted: NDOT will shuffle things in Clark County.
