That... Sounds like subsidizing the stadium.

The city is paying for expanding general use parking in the downtown area around the stadium. It’s something that will be needed by everyone in that area, as is upgraded traffic infrastructure (lights, etc).

Yes, the enhancements are needed because of the new stadium, but the benefit is not entirely to the MLS team.

And these are nothing like the deals made many years ago where the city/county build stadiums for the Bengals and Reds and covered the entire cost, which is what was alluded to in the parent.

MLS has a bogus non-profit status, just like the NFL.

That’s a huge subsidy. The lost property taxes on the developed stadium alone are huge

So the profitable part is owned by the private financiers, and the city only pays for all the externalities?

Yeah, but the city doesn’t need to deal with the burden of owning the intellectual property, like the team name, etc.
