Paul you do realize that the city has other costs related to Providence Park.  I spent 10 minutes at most trying to look at the city budget for specific costs beyond the turf which is a minor cost.  Just saying that Nigel's article makes it sound like the park is all gravy and that is just not the case.  
The gravy is to Paulson and as far as I have seen includes the pocket where the naming rights money ends up from Providence.
