DeadSpin is not a news site but this this is an interesting read.
The key take aways are:
The public did not vote on the stadiums.
Additional revenue will not count to increase the salary cap.
If NFLPA (players union) does not agree to help finance the stadium an additional $300 million will in funding will be needed. My guess is most of it will come from tax payers.

If this is a moneymaker, and a worthwhile investment, why cant they find an investor?

Inglewood plans, to my knowledge, are not financed publicly, but would be predicated on a Rams return to LA.
Latest rumor is they are willing to split with Chargers ala Jets/Giants. No realignment required ... NFC and AFC west both represented.

Looks like it’s going to be the Texas Raiders playing in the Alamodome while their new stadium is built between San Antonio and Austin.

The “NFL” aka Roger Goodell, is an idiot.

Ya know I like football....my real last name is Brady and I was raised in Massachusetts ...this price is absurd. Finance what a field of grass with stands and a locker room? Offer it to Donald Trump and see what he would give ya for a price? use some leftover pre-fab concrete slabs and make it so we can house the vermin illegals prior to deportation (off season only.) The gall of this football league is off the scale. Fk these A holes if they can give Goodell 44 million a year then hunker down and pay for your own shite.....tired of these thieves....The best football players ever were working a regular job in the off season....
