If Madison Square Garden cannot make a profit without the city chipping in tax money, how the fuck is St. Louis going to make that work?

I am opposed in full to the use of any and all tax dollars for sports complexes. The NFL, for example, is sitting on a fund of $40 Billion and is making the California taxpayers build its stadium in Los Angeles.

    making the California taxpayers build its stadium in Los Angeles.

but they NEED that stadium... people won't move to LA if it doesn't have amenities like a professional football team...

If the NFL didn't fleece the taxpayers, they wouldn't be sitting on $40 Mil . . . Fuck I just re-read you said Billion and now I'm sad.
