Lew found this nugget in The Columbian about the funding for the ball yard for the Single A team:

“Financing of the $23 million project would come from the team through investments and guarantees and corporate partners through naming rights and luxury boxes. The one public financing component? Clark County commissioners will be asked to approve an entertainment admissions fee, which would add 5 percent to the cost of tickets to local entertainment events, including movies and the baseball games.“[Emph added]

Even if you choose not to go to the game but go to the movies you’ll be tagged with a tax.
