Were any deposits or payments recorded for the stadium rental before September 10, 2025?

1. What the record set contains — general pricing and policy, not transaction logs

The search results mainly compile standard rental price ranges and venue payment rules rather than transactional evidence. Pieces include broad cost estimates for full-stadium bookings (ranges up to $2.5 million per day or $10,000–$3 million per day depending on stadium size) and venue-specific prepayment rules ^{[3] [6]}. They do not include ledgers, invoices, press releases or government filings that show a deposit or payment occurring before September 10, 2025 (not found in current reporting) ^{[3] [6] [1]}.

2. Venue payment practices that matter when searching for deposits

Several venue policy documents cited here describe when payments or deposits are typically due, which creates realistic expectations for what documentary traces would look like. For example, a professional stadium site requires full prepayment at least three business days before an event and often a credit card on file for day‑of charges ^[2]. Events DC’s RFK/Armory rental terms state that if an event is scheduled less than 30 days from license execution, full payment is due and that deposits must be cashier’s check, wire transfer, money order or credit card and are non‑refundable unless noted ^[5]. Those rules tell you where to look — venue accounts payable, wire‑transfer records, or cashier’s‑check receipts — but the sources do not show a specific payment tied to the September 10, 2025 threshold ^{[2] [5]}.

3. What the pricing context implies about the size and visibility of payments

Public and private stadium rentals can generate very large, traceable payments: reported ranges include hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars for major concerts or season leases, and cited examples estimate concert stadium rentals at roughly $1.2–$1.8 million or higher per event and full‑stadium day rates from tens of thousands into the millions ^{[7] [3] [6]}. Large municipal or county deals that involve public money — such as Wake County’s recent lease/transfer actions — often produce public records or council minutes that explicitly list sums ^[4]. By contrast, nothing in the provided results evidences a pre‑Sept.10,2025 transfer for the stadium in question ^{[7] [4]}.

4. Where public records would most likely show a deposit or payment

If a deposit involved public funds or a county lease, the clearest trail is county commission votes, budget transfers or public accounting disclosures (as in the Wake County/CBC lease reporting) — those items may list amounts and intermediary transfers ^[4]. For private events, venue contracts, wire‑transfer receipts, cashier’s‑check logs or credit‑card authorizations (as Events DC requires) are the routine places payments appear ^{[5] [2]}. The current search results include those types of policy documents but provide no specific transaction records before Sept. 10, 2025 ^{[5] [2] [4]}.

5. Competing interpretations and the limits of available reporting

One possible interpretation is that a payment occurred but hasn’t been publicly reported or indexed in the sources supplied; venue policy and pricing materials do not prove payments either way (not found in current reporting) ^{[2] [3]}. Conversely, the absence of transaction reporting in municipal or media sources — where large public transfers usually appear — argues that no major public deposit was recorded before Sept. 10, 2025, at least in the documents we have ^[4]. Available sources do not mention a private wire or cashier’s‑check for a specific booking prior to that date (not found in current reporting).

6. How to proceed to get a definitive answer

To settle this authoritatively you should: (a) request public records (purchase/receipts/GL entries) from the stadium owner or the relevant county/city finance office if public funds are involved; (b) ask the stadium’s events/finance office for a confirmation of receipt or deposit policy and any receipts tied to the date in question; and (c) check council minutes, procurement portals or vendor payment registers for the exact time window. The documents and policies cited here indicate those are the correct sources to contact ^{[5] [2] [4]}.

Limitations: the provided search results contain no direct transaction evidence tied to September 10, 2025; all factual statements above are drawn from the supplied sources ^{[1] [2] [3] [6] [4] [5] [7]}.
