And since they keep selling the games out despite a general sense amongst fans that the stadium is average and the experience lacking then why would he even be motivated to build a new stadium. The only thing I can think of that would motivate him is if he concludes the stadium is going to become a problem in terms of revenue generation and he'd like to head that off or just plain ego. I think he has a big ego...I don't think he'll shell out upwards of a billion dollars to staisfy it. The only thing he likes more than himself is money.
