All I know is Austin/Travis county voters would never approve something like the Cowboys Stadium financing scheme:

To aid Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones in paying the construction costs of the new stadium, Arlington voters approved the increase of the city's sales tax by one-half of a percent, the hotel occupancy tax by 2 percent, and car rental tax by 5 percent.

Jerry Jones is such a successful capitalists that he needs gov't welfare to build his own personal Taj Mahal. I think I'm content with college ball if it means less corruption and siphoning away of tax revenues for an 8 lousy games per year.
