After I thought about it for a while, I wondered why there shouldn't be something like TIF tax treatment in the future sales price of the Vikings if the public pays for a new stadium and then the now new owner does sell the team for something like $1,562.5 BILLION that I wondered about. A 25% tax on the increase in value would yield over $234 million. And that would go a long way toward paying the public back for its investment on the front end.
