Tulsa City Councilors hear from those for and against a deal to build a baseball stadium in downtown for the Tulsa Drillers at their Thursday night meeting.

The Tulsa City Council is considering a new downtown property tax to pay for it. 

The tax will be determined by square footage, so big landowners like Home Depot will pay more.  Home Depot will pay $43,000 a year for the stadium.  Smaller landowners will pay less.  Phat Philly's, a downtown sandwich shop, will pay about $1,000 a year.

The council has to act on a Drillers' plan by Tuesday because that's when a contract for negotiation with the team will expire.
