Since I live in NOKY, there is little or no chance that I would pay any significant amount of tax money to finance a new arena in Ohio. But having said that, I don't see why anyone should be taxed so that a business with a net worth of around 12 BILLION dollars would get any financial aid to build a facility that cost them 300-400 MILLION dollars. It's not like they couldn't borrow the money themselves, is it? Neither the county or the city has any extra money to spend and it's going to be damn near impossible to get any additional taxes passed IMO, so I think it's a moot point anyway.

Cincinnati to host first and second round games in 2022
I agree that the teams should be able to build their own stadiums / arenas and not need the taxpayers to foot the bill. There are other kinds of incentives localities can give. Unfortunately, as soon as one city or county says they'll build it, everyone else is forced to compete with that or risk losing the team.
I'd love to see a requirement that if the taxpayers build the facility, the franchise must open their books to the public. Of course, the leagues will never let that happen. Can't have a team claiming they can't afford to pay rent and maintenance when their financials show they're making millions.
Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkGolf is a relatively simple game, played by reasonably intelligent people, stupidly.

That ain't happening.
I forgot about that gem from UC.
But no, the folks who owned the arena thought that NCAA 1st/2nd round games would convince the local taxpayers to finance the arena themselves. Instead, votes raised middle fingers with both hands. At least the games are going to Indy instead. It's not Dayton and that is a win-win.

They should honestly just tear down US Bank or whatever it’s called these days.
Put the real estate to better use.

Looks like the Orlando Invitational will be staying in Orlando (no fans l would assume). Seems 7 other early season tournaments are moving there as well.
Edit: wrong thread. Thought I was in Orlando Invitational.Last edited by noteggs; 09-15-2020 at 05:01 PM.
