Monster Jam, BCS, One Direction $ go to the city or whom ever owns it out right.
The Mercedes-Benz Superdome - Event Calendar
I know several years ago I discovered that the Superdome was booked all 365 days out of the year. I was kinda shocked at the time.

I'm sure most stadiums are similar. 10 days of the year it supports the NFL, the other 355 days the City gets revenue from other sources using that dome.

The taxpayer isn't exactly getting ripped off.

I fully agree with the notion that we are not granted rights but rather born with a full set and have them slowly stripped away only to have to barter to get them back..

That said, you and I have what rights are left that haven't been unwillingly stripped from our hands... As well as private business owners do. I think at times we all vent in a reactive manor and miss out on the true cause. The NFLPA gave Roger Goodell all of his power through the CBA, just like municipalities give the NFL all of their powers through the lease agreement. Your tax money goes into building a structure owned by your local government and then they decide what power to give to any entity leasing it. If you come barrow my mower hagen and I give you the authority to repaint it, my wife shouldn't be mad at you for it coming back black and flamed. It is so easy and convenient some times to blame the wrong person.

I think anyone getting ejected or singled out for quoting Goodell is absurd and highlights just how petty and inconsistent the league actually is. A guy with a sign quoting Goodell gets harassed but Ross Tucker and many NFL Network personalities can say that Roger Goodell has lost his credibility on air and nothing is done. Know the difference? One generates rating$$$.
