Either Dallas is keeping all parking revenue (para 2) or splitting the $30, taking their $10.carlson1 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 23, 2024 3:27 pmI know either way it will be repealed again so there is probably a very slim chance anything changes this year. The only way I see this making a difference is if the state Fair looses money. I am not buying the whole “non-profit” status the Fair claims to begin with. They make a profit on just their parking.rtschl wrote: ↑Mon Sep 23, 2024 3:16 pm Attorney General Ken Paxton Files Appeal to Prevent Unlawful State Fair of Texas Firearms Ban From Taking Effect:

PARKING AND TRAFFIC
1. Events at Fair Park are subject to paid parking at any time. City of Dallas will manage paid parking services through its parking traffic management contractor. You may request to lease trams from the city parking vendor, subject to their availability.
2. City of Dallas will provide traffic control when a parking fee is charged. The City of Dallas retains all parking revenues. The parking rate is $10.00 per car for guests attending a Fair Park Administration during November -April, and $15 per car May - August months.
And being non-profit doesn't mean they don't make money, just means anything over operating expenses has to fund something else.
If it were otherwise I could have declared my business a non-profit in fact, just not in jest.
