PG County gets a 10% amusement tax on every ticket to every event in the stadium.

They get their own tax on sales of certain items too.

Have you done the math on that over 30 years? That's how long the lease is for, and you can bet any buyout of the contract is going to include covering that cost (regardless of who pays it.)

You guy sthink the money PG county put down for the stadium is a lot?

Run the numbers on the tax revenue they get just from football games. Then try to roughly guess how much they get from college games, concerts, and whatever else they host there ever year. Then multiply it by 30.
