Sweet jesus that's a lot, but looking at other deals for other sports teams you gotta say they kind of got off easy.

At the same time though, a MLS stadium is a hella lot cheaper than an NFL one, so the subsidy being lower is a given.

Yeah, but they won't really feel the burn till about 10 years from opening they want another new one.

Columbus opened in 1999 and wants a new one, no other teams with SSSs in place seem to be looking though.

They seriously need to renovate that stadium. It literally looks like a High School football stadium.
