IF PROPOSITION 302 PASSES IN AZ, WHAT'S IN THE CARDS?

          The NFL Cardinals "will get revenue from tickets,
     luxury suites, premium seats, concessions, signs and
     parking" if Maricopa County voters pass Proposition 302 on
     November 7, according to Lisa Chiu of the ARIZONA REPUBLIC. 
     Preliminary terms of the 30-year lease were made public
     Tuesday during a meeting of the public Tourism and Sports
     Authority (TSA), which "would operate and maintain" the
     73,000-seat facility.  TSA Chair Jim Grogan, on terms of the
     lease: "It's more than fair ... This is much better than
     what would be called industry standards."  Chiu notes that
     Grogan "praised" the Cardinals for agreeing to pay $250,000
     per year in rent.  Critics point out, however, that some
     recent professional stadium deals required teams to pay
     higher rent while giving the public "a cut of parking,
     naming rights and sign revenue worth hundreds of millions of
     dollars."  Chiu adds that Cardinals reps declined to say how
     much total projected revenue would be generated from the
     stadium (ARIZONA REPUBLIC, 10/11).
