- 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.
