When I was working(retired now)there were a few people at work that had season Redskin tickets .What they would do is buy them then sell off what they didn't want and would make enough to cover their total cost so they essentially would get their seats for free. That won't happen in a new stadium .The new owners of those seats will be companies that can write off the deduction(for now)

Don't you think previous season ticket holder would get a right of first refusal to buy the same seats in the new stadium? Am I being too candid? ^^

To be sure I understood the bolded part: companies could deduct the price of the season tickets from the taxes they pay for a few years because it's a new stadium ? (Not a native english speaker, and all this season ticket system is really far from what exists in France, so I'm trying to hang in there).

The current owners will get right of first refusal, along with a note that 20K is due for those 4 tickets (PSL) plus the cost of the tickets themselves. Basically paying a new basic car price simply for the right to annually buy Redskins tickets...

Wow... this is just insane...

But for how long would this PSL thing be effective ? I mean at some point don't they run out of people willing to pay 20K to have the right to pay 4K/y and just have to sell the damn tickets?

Yes, that is when a company might come in and buy the seats becuase they can write off the tickets as an expense.

But why didn't that happen at FedEx?

Fed Ex was different from the start ...and the end of an era you might say.JKC made a deal with the state of Maryland at the time for infrastructure and paid for the whole place himself.
