but with stock ownership comes the right to obtain tickets. even when stock holders pass on they are willed to family.---Its going to be awhile before the Packers go anywhere
Again, it's right in the charter that they can never move. Never. The club would have to dissolve, and the remaining cash would go to a local veterans fund.
Good! I personally wish that any/every team that's been in the league for at least 50 years should be designated as a historic team and therefore never be allowed to be traded away or disassembled without consent of the people of the city/region, or the governing entity who represents them. Or, basically every AFC and NFC North and East team.
I like that idea. Even though I'm nowhere near a fan, it was very unpleasant watching the Browns pick up and move (same with the Colts). Tradition is a strong factor in the success of any league. That's why it's been so hard for any new leagues to compete with established ones.
Austin taxpayers will never support a stadium! The TV market is small and we already have a pro team, the Longhorns! Not to mention F1. We have a variety of minor league teams based mainly in the suburbs (Round Rock for baseball, Cedar Park for hockey, minor league bball and soccer too.).
If private money comes in to build a MLS stadium, then maybe but only the recent transplants hunger for major league teams. The rest of us either bleed burnt orange or make the drive to Houston or SA or continue to root for home teams from cities we left long ago, Go Cards!
Portland fought hard to get the Expos to move there before it was beat out by DC. The Pittsburgh Penguins almost moved there.
Before Portland became hipster central, it was a working to middle class city that enjoyed sports. The two-thirds of the population that still represents the core of 90's Portland may not be enough to support a baseball, hockey or football team.
Cleveland and Pittsburgh have historical, entrenched fan bases that have supported their teams for many decades...it's hard to compare them to booming cities like Austin or Portland.
the way Austin is growing I would think they could at least do 2 and I do think Portland could as well. I do then Univerisity of Texas does drive alot of interest in Austin so they might cut into some of the interest of any sports teams they may have.
Pffft, they aren't even relevant in college football.
Don't agree with that. They are down but it's one of the top programs of all time.
