I believe the stadium being built in Vegas will be paid by the taxpayer, but IIRC, it will also be owned by the state, not by the Raiders' owner.

I don't follow the NFL very closely though, so perhaps I'm off here.



There is not an available market in North America where these owners could make as much money as they are/will in Calgary. As well, when the league has teams that are still losing millions annually, I don't believe they'll allow the owners of one of their most profitable teams to relocate to a lesser market.
Correct on every front here. Especially the moving part. Moving or selling the team to someone who will move the team will cost the Flames owners millions anyway.
