There will be no new stadium until the lease expires on FedEx.

The thing that you are forgetting is that it was hell to get the Stadium put there to begin with. Nobody wanted that stadium there. Real Estate in that location is not too shabby. I'm sure that they could work something out to put something else there, that would generate weekly revenue and reduce the Sunday Traffic in Landover. Maybe a mall, a couple of parking garages, and a small airport?

That does not answer the question of how FedEx will be paid for. Just because a stadium gets torn down for a mall of an airport does not make the cost of the stadium go away. Someone will still have to pay for it.

Where does it come from? Not that mall or airport you speak of, those monies will be used towards operating costs of the airport and mall.

If Snyder pulls out of FedEx early for a new stadium, who pays for FedEx? That debt does not go away, someone (probably the fans, and definitely the taxpayers) will be paying that bill.

He pays for it by selling it of course.

Okay who is going to buy it?

Hows is the market for professional football stadiums in the Maryland area? Is there such a demand for these venues that investors are building and selling them at will?

Who is he going to sell it to? The Ravens? A local high school? You?

Man, I was just taking you for a ride. I am just as skeptical as you about this deal. Did you read the link? The author whipped out more reasons why Snyder can't do it than anything else.

I wouldn't put it past Snyder to get it done, but there is much to overcome realistically.
