MPR's Michael Khoo reports on vying proposals in the Twin Cities regarding a new ballpark. As policymakers and state officials pore over the details of 26 stadium ideas submitted, one thread emerges bright and clear…aside from the plans that call for new gambling revenues, all the major proposals rely heavily on increased tax dollars to build new homes for the Twins and Vikings.

St. Paul's pitch for a $520 million Twins stadium relies, in part, on a 3%, city-wide tax on bars and restaurants. The argument goes that game-day activity encourages fans to stop for dinner or drinks enroute to the ballfield -- and that a new stadium would be a boost for the city's hospitality industry. The only problem is the hospitality industry isn't quite buying it.
