I may be one of the few that agrees with you here... ;)
Couple of questions as I can't remember if I heard them correctly or not.
1. Isn't the tax to pay for the Metrodome still on the books even though that stadium has been paid for for years? If true (and I thought it was) why isn't anybody saying a thing about this?
2. Nobody discusses the fact that opposing teams have to pay MN state taxes on paychecks received. The State never mentions the rewards they have reaped from that for years. That's why I don't have a problem with Pohlad. The State of Minnesota has enjoyed a tax stream they don't have to answer to their constituents for.
I love baseball but have not gone to a game in 3 years because the stadium is an embarrasment (and refuse to sit indoors during the MN summer). Personally I think a larger tax on beer and food in the downtown area bars and resturants would work better ($.05 more per drink? Is anyone really going to complain?).
