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.

53,000 women for 3 seperate meetings. 9 days with 53,000 paying visitors. that is almost the same as the cowboys produce and we don't need to worry about a 600,000 million dollar building. looks like someone needs a math lesson.
