This would be like Lamar Hunt and Ewing Kaufman being required to pave I-70 and Blue Ridge when the stadiums were built and then build an airport for the teams to fly in and out of.

Point is Cordish got a great deal...the City Council screwed up and when the Funk brought up the problems as the city auditor...no one paid attention. Now, according to auditors it will take at least another 20 years to pay off the debt. This from a city cutting public services (jobs) every quarter and is still over budget.
