Re: Stadium Rumors

Actually, the unconfirmed additional rumor that I heard was that Synder in doing this would sell FedEx to developers who are really pushing hard to develop in PG County and he in turn would buy RFK, the land and build the new stadium and demolish RFK out of his own pocket. Don't know if this is true either, just reporting what the rumor is.

But I agree, the purpose of these new stadiums is to boast team revenues and make teams competitive in free agency. How can the SKINs get any better of a revenue set up in terms of a "newer" stadium than FedEX. and after this baseball mess who the heck would want to give up this set up and deal with the D.C. Gov?

Jack Kent Cooke was brilliant. He realized that by using his own $ to build a stadium and buy land and design that stadium specifically around capacity and premium and luxury levels that the team would rake in all the cash and would have to share it with D.C.

Snyder added to this and this is why we are the top revenue team in the NFL and other than the Yankees in all of sports today.
