Re: Ongoing CBA discussions
JKC/Fed Ex field cost 250 mil to build, of which the taxpayers of PG county and Md financed 28% of it. They say jerry jones palace which cost 1.2 bil to build could have been done for 2/3 the cost but jerry didnt want a sponsor name on his new crown jewel. If jerry turned down 200 mil or so just for naming rights to his stadium, he cant be hurtin that bad. Idk about the giants/jets new stadium costs, pub fin, sponsorship etc.
With any investment there are risks. I just dont believe the owners when they say they are losing money. Maybe Jax and some others but as a whole I think it is they best investment any person can make. If the owners want to talk about peripheral or actual risks, they could always just sell their team to a line of guys wanting in the club. Right now Im not too worried about having no football come Sept. We still have all of April, May, June and July until real decisions need to be made. Thats a long time imo. Itd be nice if the NFL and NFLPA would think of ways to lessen the direct costs to the fans, even if it was just puffery, itd just be nice to know that they know there is a third party to all this with our own wants, needs.
