So ... watched the show and here's the short(ish) version for those that missed it:
That's about it in a nutshell -- the pro side used facts and logic, the against used interruptions, raised voices and emotion. Was quite impressed with Sly (although he did bring up the "do it or they will leave" argument, which I wish he wouldn't have). MM ~~

Have I mentioned lately that I HATE Jack Harry? He's a bitter old man and a stupid bastard.
I'm glad that someone finally stood up to KK and called him on his downtown stadium BS. I'm sure that KK will twist things around and make himself look like a hero on his radio show tomorrow.

Dave Helling was the only one there who looked like they had brain cells to rub together.

Sly is a great guy. The couple of times I've met him I always felt comfortable with him. I don't get that with lawyers often (ever).

According the way the ballot is written, the MOST taxpayers would put in is $425 million. Period. I could be wrong, but after reading the executive summary and both leases, that's the way I read it. Not sure where that $800 million keeps coming from. My theory is that KK keeps throwing it out there because he wants a downtown ballpark (probably because Union Broadcasting would benefit financially from development in the area). Considering that a new football stadium would run about $400 - 500 million, and a baseball stadium $200 -300 million, throwing out that $800 million figure makes it look as though two new stadiums could be had for the prices of refurbishing. Again, I'm not 100% sure (I'm actually going to talk with some folks tomorrow about this whole thing ... folks with intimate knowledge of the issue) but the $800 million is not how much tax would be collected. Also, if JaxCo can't afford to build the stadiums, how in the hell is WyCo? And for those that don't know, Sly was the African American lawyer on the "for" side. He posts over at ChiefsCoaltion (where I have to go at work since the Planet is blocked. Nice board, actually ... not quite as crazy or balls to the wall as here, but pleasant and informative.) MM ~~

I just want our teams and city to get the best possible deal, if that means playing downtown then fine. Somebody's pockets are going to get fat regardless of if we renovate or build new, and I don't care whose pockets they are as long as it's a good deal for the city and our teams.
