The ridiculous part of these teams asking for money is we just had lockout of two groups fighting over millions of dollars.
If you cut the cap by 20 million dollars each team could have a new arena every 30 years. If you cut the cap by 5 million per year the City's portion of the new arena wouldnt be neccessary. The NFL recgnizing that the public appitite for fund arenas negotiated that stadium building was removed from revenues before the Cap was calculaed. There is enough money for each team to fund their own buildings. The only reason cities cave is they give into the blackmail of we will move somewhere else.
The Cities of North America need to agree as a group to stop funding arenas and poaching teams.
