At that cost, they would probably be better off waiting for a team in dire need of relocation like what happened with the Thrashers. The relocation fee can't be nearly that much, could it?

Yes it needs to be paid all at one time like closing a sale of a house. These guys will likely borrow a lot of the money.
With two groups willing to pay the $500 million expansion fee, I doubt we see a cheap relocation fee like the Jets in the near future.
