Florida Panthers' Stanley Cup Celebration Sparks Debate and Damage

TL;DR Summary
The Florida Panthers are holding a victory parade in Fort Lauderdale, but it is unclear who will pay for it. Last year, the city covered part of the security costs after the team initially asked for a waiver of nearly $400,000, which the city declined. The team paid its share after delays, and this year, the city and team are still negotiating the costs, with some residents and officials debating whether taxpayers should fund the parade or if the team should cover its expenses.
