2 or 3 will threaten and get new stadiums built, but nobody is actually moving.
Count on the Buffalo Bills to do exactly that. After Ralph Wilson died earlier this year, the new owners "promised" they wouldn't move the team.
A team so "successful" it hasn't been to the playoffs in 20 years - and - a team whose millionaire owner (Wilson) ran to Albany twice in the last ten years, threatening to "pull the plug" if he couldn't get some taxpayer dollars.
Albany caved twice for a total of $400 million. I guarantee the new owners will do exactly the same thing.

What will those “new” LA franchises have to pay the other owners to enter this new territory? Word is over $1 billion dollars. That ain't cheap boys

I am SO SICK of taxpayers subsidizing stadiums "for the good of the community". In Cuyahoga County, we pay an 8% sales tax because of the supposed dire financial needs in the country.
So what do the county councilpersons do? They vote by a small majority to give a few million to a new super scoreboard for the Browns. Yup, they used the ol' trick of everyone who could get away with it voting for it.
It's all such a scam for taxpayers to subsidize millionaires. Why not just sell shares of stock to build and maintain stadiums?
