Note: All dolalr figures are in millions.
The City of Arlington's contribution w as capped at $325 million. $20 million of this total w ill be repaid through Cow boys' rent payments, effectively reducing the City's contribution to $305 million. The public
funding total also includes a $25 million County contribution and $115 million from a 10% admission tax and 3% parking tax. In determining the public/private funding split, the admissions and parking tax w ere
considered to be a part of the Cow boys' contribution tow ard stadium funding. How ever, because they are taxes, for purposes of this analysis they have been considered to be public funding sources. If
these taxes w ere assumed to be private contributions, the result w ould be 65% private funding and 35% public funding.
Private funding includes team contributions, NFL G-3 loans, proceeds of seat license sales and other private investment, including pledged revenue, as detailed in the footnotes.
