Major Facility Project

  • Choose a recent or current major facility project (stadium, arena, etc.).
  • Research its financing plan, focusing on these key questions:
  • What is the total Nominal Cost?
  • What is the Public vs. Private funding mix (%)?
  • What Public Funding is used? (e.g., GO Bonds, Revenue Bonds, specific taxes pledged)
  • What Private Funding is used? (e.g., Owner equity, bank loans, naming rights)
  • What were the key arguments for and against the public subsidy (if any)?
  • Prepare a Funding Fact Sheet (include images, visuals, etc.) and be prepared to share your findings with the class.
  • Note: If exact financial details are hard to find, don’t worry. Instead, research the proposed funding plans and the debate surrounding the project.
