I know we all "own" the stadium but it's more like we just "paid" for it rather than own it, and the profits for Them just keep on increasing with every rise in ticket/food/entertainment fees/costs. Just having some tongue in cheek fun about a not-too-funny fact of PA political life.

Sorry if I seemed to be jumping on you. This stadium issue is a touchy one for me. We worked so hard to defeat the referendum and the pols (pubbies especially) rammed it thru anyway.
In actuality, although we paid for it, we own squat. And the lease is written for 29 1/2 years instead of 30 to help the team avoid other financial consequences. (I don't recall all of the details right now.)
It really ticks me off and I refuse to even go to any events that require a dime of my money for anything. Again, my apologies.
