    Depends on what number you want to look at. There is the $290mil figure and there is the figure both parties assume it is worth in the end after gains/investment that is like $450mil. Most places and people will use the $290mil figure, but $450mil is probably more accurate...however, we don't know what the state would do with the money if it didn't go to the Brewers. No proof it would get invested or go to something actually useful. The player tax alone is approx. 7.65%. If you assume the average payroll of teams playing at AmFam (including the Brewers) is an average of say $170mil over those 13 years, that would be $170mil in tax revenue. Then you have ticket sales revenue. 2.6mil a year at an average of $35 a seat would be $65mil in tax revenue. Then I have to imagine the average fan is spending at least half their ticket cost within the stadium, thus another $30mil in tax revenue on that. You are probably going over $290mil on player payroll and gameday experience tax revenue alone.

    First message might be...but once I sent an angry response to the very obvious bot text and then a real person responded with the second text.😅

    I am always somewhat surprised this is such an issue that the banks have no leniency on. If you say you are going to rent out your old house, you usually can use like 80% of that proposed income when buying your new house. Maybe they have more checks into what you are doing before approving the next loan...but I thought it was fairly straight forward. If they can trust you are actually going to rent out your house, can they really not trust that other people are going to sell their old house ASAP and want nothing to do with double mortgages? Especially if you have high equity in that house and in the worst case you will have plenty of wiggle room to sell without being in the red if you have to drop the price to sell.

    Going to be pretty darn difficult for them to get on the #2 seed line without winning their last two games and then win the conference tourney, if that is truly where they are at this point. CBS slots them in as the top #2 seed...that seems really bullish though.

    The biggest part is the lease doesn't go through 2030 (only the guaranteed portion does), it goes through 2040. When they ended the 5-county tax, they expected that money to last through 2040. That leads me to believe the stadium district was contractually obligated/expected to do upkeep on the stadium as long as the Brewers could stay (2040). Saying the $80mil will last till 2030 is probably true (actually probably not considering the total amount is over $450mil), but that isn't when their obligation ends. Maybe that is wrong, but I don't know why the tax would have been going till they had enough money for repairs till 2040, if they were only required to do so through 2030. I just really doubt that was the case.
  6. MrTPlush
    That’s not true. The lease does not run out in 2030, unless the Brewers decide to leave. It can run as long as 2040. The Brewers have 5 2-year lease options to pick up. The stadium district is obligated to do those stadium improvements during the lease, which is as long as 2040. That $80mil might last till 2030, but would fall well short of what is need the rest of the 10 years. I don’t have the lease agreement in front of me (probably some way to see it…but idk), but I presume that is the logical and how it is interpreted. Considering both sides seem to agree there is a mightily huge shortfall way bigger than $80mil. Of course, it is probably in the stadium districts best interest to make one big commitment and have the lease be solidified through the max amount of time. Versus spending $100mil on the roof in 2030 and then watch the Brewers say never mind after the 2 year extension runs out. In reality it appears the lease gets extended three years. The rest is just forcing the Brewers to pick up their ‘player options’.

    I would rather get slowly backed over by a semi-truck. No thanks. So you are a CPA and referenced economics before...but don't know why a professional sports team gets money for a new stadium? You can argue it is too much money and they state isn't getting enough return on investment, however, saying these sports teams shouldn't get a single penny is really failing to grasp the basic economics of the situation. Every person in the country tries to pay the least amount at tax time...a sports team is no different. If they can save money, they will...it is just a grander scale. It is hard to quantify a lot of the economic impact of the stadium and team. The tax revenue on the payroll alone would likely be approaching $200mil over those 13 years, considering payroll inflation before those 13 years even start. Of course, you also have the fact that the Brewers/Bucks existing is the only thing between Milwaukee being a somewhat relevant city and becoming a yearly inclusion of Top 10 worst places in the entire country.

    The thing with fouling is you open the door a bit for them to have a chance at a lead. If they make both, and you turn it over on the inbounds pass, any basket by the opposing team is taking the lead. If you play it out, the worst ending is almost surely OT. It is also easy to say foul...until they pull up at the last moment to be in a 'shooting motion' and then you send them to the line for three free-throws.
  9. MrTPlush
    Sure…the point is though, You gotta beat a worthless team just to play someone that may help your resume. Which, I don’t have the bracket right in front of me, could be a Penn State/Michigan etc. that are pretty fringe teams. I don’t know if that kind of win is getting them over the hill if they lose to Purdue.
  10. MrTPlush
    Davis (I think) going for the steal was also a bit of a poor decision. Just let him catch it. He either throws a prayer of a pass or puts up a ridiculous contest shot flat footed. All he did was open the door for a realistic look.
  11. MrTPlush
    Live look at Badgers every time they find themselves in the tourney bracket.
  12. MrTPlush
    Well, they should be, but they aren’t. Purdue isn’t playing well these days and is beatable. It would give them a win that could easily put them in the bracket. They mentioned the worst part of this loss though. Now they are facing a situation when they play someone like Ohio State or Nebraska in the conference tourney to open it. A game that provides absolutely zero upside winning. Even a second round win over one of the fringe tourney teams may not provide much of a resume boost…thus requiring a three game streak to make it. For a team that doesn’t know what a 2-game winning streak is, let alone a 3-game winning streak…not a good situation.
  13. MrTPlush
    Steven Crowl made that questionable three attempt, so the entire team followed suit and instantly panicked while going full stupid.
  14. MrTPlush
    Yah…my first thought was, “Why is it necessary to have a punishment for the batter?” If the batter isn’t ready at 8 seconds just let the pitcher pitch if he is ready. If the pitcher isn’t ready at 8 seconds himself…then where is the harm? The last thing baseball needs is cringe moments in the game like what happened to the Braves. At least make the pitcher throw the ball and not have it be an automatic strike.
  15. MrTPlush
    The Braves ended the game today with a pitch violation as the Braves batter was not ready at 8 seconds.

    Yearly Christian Yelich optimism.
  17. MrTPlush
    That was weird and then the ref decided to take part in the odd altercation…

    Reading between the lines the obvious seems to be: Thinking about spending more time with family and would probably do that if after the year the team gets nuked and is in some kind of transition/rebuild. The guy would want to win a WS with the Brewers as much as any of us…but sacrificing family time with the unknown after this core of players dissolves is probably not attractive.
  19. MrTPlush
    The problem is, he is only one of many. He may be the main guy, but I don't think the others are going to get on board with a zero profit payroll like you are clamoring for.
  20. MrTPlush
    But to some extent those basic stats are what value is based on. Hader, and many others, can complain about arbitration trashing them because it is based on saves, but what about free agency? Saves and closers get paid. Arbitration is largely based on what similar players get in arbitration, what guys are getting in free agency, and what those guys are getting paid for. Now...these days there is a bigger push for advanced metrics getting paid, so I do think the system is starting to get outdated a bit. Sucks for the player if the team uses them in a way that doesn't maximize their value (not using them against LHH or not getting saves), but that is what it is. If you have a problem you got to go to the team like Hader seemingly did.

    I would take Johnston if he dropped to us...but I find that pretty hard to imagine. I figure either a team in front of us takes him or some team will trade up to get him before #15 ever comes on the clock. I wouldn't draft Mayer at #15.
  22. MrTPlush
    I mean that's a pretty big assumption on his part that he provides no input on why he believes they don't know anything about baseball. The whole 'calling runs points' looks like he just pulled it out of his back end. The rest of it that was actually factual, and he had information to back up was pretty interesting though.
  23. MrTPlush
    Yah, and the statement really isn't accurate. Most in these generations of professional working age could probably not care less what people on social media think of them. Millennial/Gen Z grew up with social media...the comment is probably accurate through college, but after that these generations often dump social media...at least actively posting on it and sharing their lives.
  24. MrTPlush
    I will care when I see the price drop and what the item now looks like…most of it is probably shrinkflation. Also, a $1 cost shrink is meaningless to me.
  25. MrTPlush
    Both Chicago teams (last I knew) grill all their brats and hot dogs fresh. If the Brewers had one similar area I bet the line would stretch around the entire warning track. Oh well, better to be lazy and cheap for profits. To answer the question, no, most of this isn't even new. A lot of it was dumped in recent years due to COVID and whatever other odd reasons they had. Glad to see they have realized how dumb they are and how much the gameday experience has been tanking. I mean, didn't know people like the fireworks? Does Rick and other FO people not have kids? Maybe they can save the SSH experience next.
