The only games that will sellout there will be when the Mexican National Soccer team plays there.

The Rams could not survive in LA when the population was a lot more ‘white.’ The area is much more Hispanic and they are not football fans, they like soccer and baseball...question is, where will the Rams go when this fails.

Toyota USA got a few breaks from Plano to relocate their HQ

Some financial breaks, but the biggest one was to let men in the women's bathrooms. Even the city councilman representing Prestonwood Baptist didn't raise a stink about that one after he got elected on a pro-family platform.

The original plan called for $60 million from Inglewood and $8 million a year. Has that changed?

This is the Grand Coulee Dam. It cost $163 million in 1943, which is $1.86 billion today. It produces 7,079 Megawatts of electricity. It will pay for itself in 2044. To date nobody has knelt on it to protest the National Anthem.

Their special "spit on and trample the US Flag lobby" probably cost a few million on its own. **** the NFL. Thanks Olog-hai.

Is the Ram’s stadium in Saint Louis even paid for yet?

The point is that it never used to be as expensive as now, I think. All due to government machinations more than dangers from seismic events.

My Direct TV bill has a 4.00 a month “Sports Fee” added on and I never watch any sports.

Yup, that's probably your "local sports fee" that all the major networks started tacking on to get some extra $$ out of any tv channel package that includes ANY sports channels. I just got lucky and the several channels the wife wanted had a package that didn't have any of the sports stuff. The only thing I watch is Rangers games, and it's easy enough to go to the bar when it's not on FSSW or any of the local channels.
