See the previous link about the new Benson deal. It is around $23.5 million annually.

And the bulk of that is the state leasing space in a building benson owes. Now they are probably paying too much, but their would be paying for office space somewhere. So the additional cost to the state is probably ~$10 million.

But that also kinda understates it since that is only subsidies. They state also forgoes revenue in a state owned building (the superdome).
