In the end it's market based. In some cities it makes sense to privately fund a stadium. In some it doesn't. If the people of a particular city want to pay or partially pay for a stadium that's their business. If they don't, that's their business too.

That's how LA lost the Rams. St. Louis made them a great offer and, in the end, it's a business...

The problem is the state of Illinois and the city of Chicago are in horrible financial conditions with crumbling infrastructure and massively underfunded pensions. The CTA in Chicago is in such bad shape that Los Angeles' public transportation system bypassed them in ridership.

In the end the Bears aren't leaving the Chicago area. But it's like the McCaskeys will have to sell part or all of the Bears

SoFi might not get the Super Bowl for a while because everyone else is going to building domes and those places will get the "one and done" the NFL does.

Cleveland's proposal to move to the suburbs.


Like SoFi it looks like they'll have to build down as the proposed site is right by Cleveland Hopkins airport.

Without a doubt its business. But I kinda feel like for Stan Kroenke its also about his legacy. He's the one who brought the NFL back to LA. And built a Superbowl winner that happened to win it in his stadium.

Don't forget that Stan was the one who bought the lease to the TWA Dome and that was the final step in moving them from LA to St. Louis. If he hadn't have done that Georgia wouldn't have moved the team to this shithole town.

I wouldn't call St Louis a shithole town. But LA is, well, its LA. Can't beat the weather there. When its hot its not really humid like places in Florida.
