The Benson Tower deal is intertwined with the Saints deal with the publicly owned Dome. It’s just shifting the money from one similarly owned entity to another for PR purposes.
No kidding. The conversation was about the Saints supposedly owning the Dome. Thus the focus of my response.

They also don't have anything to do with us practicing in the Dome. The Dome wants us to practice there because part of the last deal with the Saints is that a new turf gets put down every season. Those fields need to be played on to smooth things out. There was a good deal of slipping and sliding at the game Friday.. They also don't owe anything due to the deal you referenced. Those things were done to keep the team here and keep it in the mix for NC games in football and basketball.
Are u forgetting about Benson Tower? Taxpayers were once again screwed to the needs of a billionaire.
Isn't that a focal point of American capitalism? Give away the farm to rich people and then convince non-rich people to blame each other for reasons that really don't matter (race, gender, orientation, origin, religion, age, etc.) for the loss of the farm.
