If the public pays for the arena, then it's a public work akin to a park or a library and therefor events there will be free to attend, right? right??
To me it’s pretty simple. If the city pays for it then the city should get a portion of the stadiums profits until the money is paid back.
Do people think the city will build the arena and donate it to the Thunder??
The city wouldn't do this deal unless they had in writing the Thunder would be paying a lease yearly for 25 years
Do people in OKC really think operating profit is going to pay off the capex??
