Except for the nearly 300 million dollars new jersey had to spend rebuilding the infrastructure in the area. they also don't really pay any taxes for revenue from ticket sales and other sources of revenue. plus the state has to cover the 100 million dollar bond payment for the old stadium.
but besides that I'm sure the state got a great deal. NFL owners know how to screw local economies one way or the other.
