Give them a free preseason game for example.

The core fan, as you put it, loses ONE home game in 16 years - surely thats worth it when you take into account the potential benefits both to teams (fanbase, revenue) and league - the NFL isn't a silly league, its the best at promotion, marketing, you name it - so it wouldn't be doing it on a whim.
As for what teams could do to reimburse fans who would have had that game at the home stadium I'm sure its something that has/is being worked on.
