It wont be public money as long as they are called Redskins. Snyder wanting public money for a new stadium will be the reason he changes the name.

Yea and if there is money involved I don't see Snyder caring as much as he seems to care now about the name. Snyder really likes his money.

I would be opposed to anyone giving Snyder money to build a new stadium, especially either state or city.

There is no chance DS will build a new stadium on his own dime.

I'm in no way a snyder fan/defender/supporter/etc, but that's hardly unique to him.

The NFL has successfully made itself a bully to local, state, and in a sense even the federal government. All these new stadiums are being financed by governments. If I recall, even JKC had FedEx paid for by PG County; the redskins just have a 30 year lease on the stadium.

Definitely not unique to DS.

If memory serves JKC built Fed Ex with his own money which is why he called it JKC Stadium and why DS changed the name as fast as he could. JKC did have PGC and the State of MD pay for road improvements and upgrades near the stadium but not the stadium itself.

Hmmm.... that sounds more like what I remember hearing now that I think of it.

JKC (the Skins) also built the rec center just outside the stadium .

Kind of off topic, but I wonder why Cooke was in such a rush to build a new stadium if he knew he wasn't going to keep the team in his family. Perhaps he knew it would sell for more, getting more for his foundation.
