Would Danny Boy want to outdo another owner? Of course he would. That's why he owns this team in the first place.

Question is if he is willing to put up with the cost and the grief to try to outdo the other owner.

SUPPOSE that Jerry Jones really and truly builds a stadium with a retractable roof that seats 105,000 to 110,000 people and gets on the rotation to get a Super Bowl in Dallas every 6 or 7 years. I'm not convinced that is gonna happen, but SUPPOSE it does.

Now what can Danny Boy do? Would any of the govermental units around here agree to put up the money for a stadium for him? I don't think so.

Would he be willing to dip into his own pocket to build a new playpen on his own nickel as JKC did? Maybe - but that remains to be seen.

Do you recall that it took JKC about 5-8 years to get a jurisdiction to agree to let him build a stadium in their area when he was going to pay the freight for the construction? So, if Danny Boy wants to move in that direction, he might be well advised to start planning now. If he starts tomorrow, hi may have a site for the building approved in about 2012 meaning it might be finished by 2014. And by then FedEx Field will be a dinosaur...
