I'm glad there are other Wisconsinites who don't give a shit about football. HELLO FRIEND That said, those of us in Brown County still got stuck with a 0.5% tax hike to pay for the stadium on sales tax, which I wouldn't mind so much except it stuck around about 4 years longer than it was supposed to. Being a resident close by I can attest to what the evidence says: The argument that stadiums augment the local economy is hoo-hah. The area around the stadium is more built up, sure, and plenty of businesses do well there but the vast majority of the money goes right into the Stadium and of course the NFL, the only exceptions being the local motels (which can't be doing that well, they all look like slum housing). Honestly I'd pay the 0.5% tax hike forever if we got rid of the stupid thing and stopped locking up the Green Bay metro area every Sunday. Edit: For the record, it's not the amount of the tax hike, I realize I'm bitching over pennies. It's the principle that I'm subsidizing an industry that makes so much fucking money they have no business getting tax breaks on toilet paper, let alone facilities like Lambeau Field.
