I hope my Raiders don't leave Oakland again. But when I don't hear anything about a replacement for the ol McAfee Colusium, I get worried.

 

[chowie]

yeah

 

[texansfan]

The league hasn't learned yet from it's past mistakes.

 

[PatPatriot]

It will be kind of strange for an NFL team in a foreign country.

 

[FairWarning]

Can see the Rams going back. That would be a shame as St Louis has supported them.

Great fans in Minnesota. All this jackass owner has done is threaten to move them, first to San Antonio then LA.

Vikings were close to a deal in Anoka County a few years ago and then the Vikings tried to get a bidding war by looking at Downtown Minneapolis. Anoka County said fuck you and pulled their offer. Now there's no way in hell the Vikings get a stadium in this shit economy. They are looking at new stadium close to a billion dollars and the state has about a $5 billion deficit.

wrong. Old owner was billionaire from texas that mentioned moving to S.A. New owner has never threatened to leave.

McCombs was the one threatening San Antonio.

Let them move. Allow pro teams to move.

Fuck them all. I hope all the pro leagues go bankrupt. Stop being held hostage by owners.

zyigi wants the tax payers to pay at least half of it from what i read. metrodome lease expires in 2011. they dont get a stadium, vikings are gone.

 

[maxdemo]

At least eight franchises, including the Oakland Raiders, Buffalo Bills and Minnesota Vikings, have been identified as possible targets for relocation, he said, and developers are confident the NFL would approve a move.

Way more than 1/2. Zygi want to only contribute $200 million and the state to cover about $750 million. Plus Zygi will get that money back on PSLs, advertising, concessions, etc... He's living in a fucking fantasy world if he think he can pry that kind of dough from the state. I say he better be willing to contribute $500 million or else move the team to LA. He has no shot until maybe 2011 and that's if the economy completely turns around. The Dome is a shithole to watch a game, will miss the Vikings if they leave but no big deal if they do.

Don't forget the most important part you left out.

Naming rights deal.

Thanks! That's a huge amount of money. No way in hell Zygi doesn't find a major Corporation like Best Buy to buy the naming rights to the new stadium if he ever gets one.
