We’ll get screwed on this just like we did with the All-Star game.

I want none of my money going to the National Felon’s League.
Let the crooks take it outta their own hide.
As for the owners, may a thousand flies come to rest in their beer.
After first coming to rest in fetid Obamastuff.

Looks to me they’re afraid that charging Minnesota Sales Tax on the ticket would end professional football as we know it.

What’s a 30 second TV spot go for on the Super Bowl telecast ?
To: Buckeye McFrog
When they had the game here in Indy they got a complete free pass on taxes.

They can, but why should they? With local governments willing to foot bills and forgo taxes, smart businesses take all they can get.

That money goes to the network broadcasting it not the league.

You are correct but the league gets its money up front in the tv deal. The network is just hoping to make a profit on it later.

Right, but in means the cost of a spot means nothing to the league, at least not until 2019 or so when the next wave of TV contract renewals start getting negotiated.

Football (NFL/NCAA) is BY FAR the biggest ratings deal on tv these days. So it’s understandable they expect to be the big hog at the $$ trough.
