I must say, good for Mary Kay. If the rich corporate execs want their nice skyboxes let them pay for it.

The fairer approach would be for the City to impose an extra hotel tax on the 8 days the Stadium will be in use. They could also assess the spectators a 30% tax on the admission price of their ticket. My guess is Jerry Jones would object because he would fear a loss of attendance due to excessive prices. Good for Mary Kay letting Dallas know there are more businesses in town than the NFL.

I don't live in Texas so it matters not to me, but I so share your sentiments.

I was the Controller at a new Sheraton in 1985 in Arlington, TX. Not long after they started raising the occupany taxes in the city to pay for a new convention center near the hotel and between Six Flags and the old Ranger stadium (on an old piece of city property where the city ran a waterpark and, being government, of course failed miserably).

Two years later we never got the room sales we hoped for. It was a bust because of the high taxes.
