Up next, a billionaire begs for money.

He shouldn't get a dime of public funding for his vanity project. If that makes him  move the team...

I'll bet they will want one that can dome up when needed  so Tepper can try to get a SB here..................and you will be paying for it in taxes .........

 

.......the NFL.......private profits.......socialized expenses......

Thats how new stadiums are funded for every sport in every city. Don't like it then don't support the NFL.

IF it is for a new stadium, that would be years away, with planning, construction, etc.  Plenty of time to shitcan Rhule and get the team moving in the right direction prior to relocating.  Like was said earlier, taxpayers aren't going to want to chip in, but certainly not with the current product on the field.  If this is Tepper's long game, he will need to make changes now.

Only of the City Council you elected allows it to happen.   

I have a hunch there is actually an outside chance this may be the one-and-only issue on which this Council actually ends up in the right place...

...hopefully this will be the first time I'm ever right (according to the guy with 428,294 posts )!!

That said the Mayor has demonstrated incredibly poor judgement and is clearly open to being "influenced" so who knows:

Jets-Giants Stadium was 100% privately funded.

This was just plain stupid by all concerned parties --- moronic.  

A prominent member of the Panthers organization recently joined the same club ...

This…if we have teams issues in 2028 when the real talk will actually take place we have problems.

If he really does build a stadium with an entertainment district full of restaurants and bars around it, the tax revenue for Char/Meck will be worth whatever $$ the city puts into the project. The stadium in Glendale would be a good example to look towards.

Wait til everyone finds out that Tepper is actually building a soccer specific stadium.

I wish, but there's no money in soccer for that

I know business people don’t care but damn…trying to get tax and PSL dollars with the correct product? How do you even pitch that to fans.

"JOBS"

That's always the pitch.

Think it depends on who is paying for the stadium, the MLS has already stated that they don’t like their teams playing in NFL stadiums so I actually don’t think it’s that farfetched.
