With basically no background research they stated it would be privately funded. There is no way municipal money wouldn't be involved in attracting a major sports team and building a new venue, even if it's indirectly (grants, tax reductions etc). It would be unprecedented in today's age.
And Toronto as an NFL market isn't really all that hot. The Bill's never manage to sell out the skydome when they've played games here recently. Granted, this is partly to do with high ticket costs. That factor doesn't stop the Leafs though.
