The document discusses public financing of professional sports facilities through various taxation methods. It provides examples of specific stadiums that were financed through certain taxes, such as sales taxes (Denver's Invesco Field), tourism taxes (Seattle's Safeco Field), and sin taxes like cigarette and liquor taxes (Cleveland's Quicken Loans Arena and Jacobs Field). It also examines the economic and psychic benefits that sports facilities and franchises can provide to communities, as well as questions raised by sport economists about opportunity costs and actual economic impacts.
