    1. For this to happen, the City would actually have to be allowed to collect local option sales tax, which we aren’t. All of that sales tax money goes to the State and a penny of it goes straight into Irsay’s pocket.

    2. If I’m not mistaken, Irsay keeps the bulk of all non game day revenues
      also.

      Irsay has an incredible sweetheart deal. He collects the bulk of any revenues
      generated at Lucas Oil Stadium.

  1. Now imagine all the people that came and didn’t rent a hotel or air BNB! Stayed with people! Slept at people they mets houses apartments etc… thousands!! I personally k ow many many!!! Way more money than that was made!! Way more!!!
