Yep, but that isn't the first time. When the Jets/Giants got their new stadium the tax payers they too were still paying for the old one. Same shit is going to happen to the teams who move to LA. The cities they leave will be left with nothing and still paying for their old digs and LA's tax payers will fit the bill for the new digs. Corporate blackmail. "If you don't give me what I wan't I will take my toys and leave".
And just before the season started this last year, I heard the Skins website asking fans what they wanted in a new stadium. I think that got nixed though.
I am fucking sick of the NFL getting away with this bullshit. They socialize the profits between teams, so please tell me why 32 billionaires need a dime from tax payers? Couldn't they pool their own money?
That's why Robert Kraft is the best owner in the NFL. Gillette Stadium? 100% privately funded.
