Nationals Park Debt May Be Paid Off Decade Earlier Than Expected

DC collected more than $30M in FY '17 from its Nationals Park fee, and the ballpark bonds "could be paid off" as soon as '26, a "decade earlier than required." At $31.1M, the FY '17 ballpark fee haul is "more than double the minimum" $14M "required under the stadium financing law to cover the bond debt service." And in FY '18, estimates show DC will "collect even more" -- $33.9M. The fee revenue "fluctuates year to year, but is generally" in the $30-40M range (BIZJOURNALS.com, 11/30).
