NFL NFL Stadiums Discussion

[Johnny Bananas]

As unlikeable as Stan Kroenke is, at least he paid for his stadium all with his own wealth.

He didn't have a choice though, LA consistently told the NFL to go **** itself when they had their hands out for public funding, that's why the Rams and Raiders left. Only LA and NY seem to be big enough that the NFL needs them more than they need the NFL.

But Arlington Heights is in Illinois, I don't understand. Do they mean Illinois matched the Indiana offer?

Gary was never a real chance just a con to get Arlington Heights to pay more. The Bears bought land there like 10 years ago

Is it the goal of most NFL teams to make their stadiums a pain in the arse to get to for the majority or something?

American Driving Culture.
Probably the only country in the world where the carpark footprint is larger than the stadium footprint.

Deciding whether a stadium is well placed is an interesting argument.

Because what an Australian values, is different than the average American.

From an Australian perspective. 49ers, Cardinals, Rams/Chargers, Chiefs, Texans, Buccaneers, Cowboys, Commanders, Eagles, Giants/Jets, Dolphins, Patriots and Bills are terrible locations.

However, American culture, quite a few of them are actually good.
49ers and Patriots are still shitty locations, but many of the others suit American culture quite well. But if the Bears build at Arlington Heights that will be terrible.

Building at Arlington Heights would be like the Victorian government going 'nah, parking at the MCG is too shit, we'll demolish it and build a new stadium at Whittlesea'

Good for Illinois, not being held to ransom by billionaires. Now Indiana gets to be f***ed twice by greedy NFL owners, between the Bears and the Colts.
