It will never happen unless the govt requires them to. The teams hold all the leverage with the local government entities, so they can never get that kind of info.

The Packers are unique because they are a nonprofit. So every year they have to spend their net cash flow on something, and that something can't be "making our owner rich" because the team is public. That's why you get the constant improvements to Lambeau these days. If they ever need more cash, they can easily dip…
Nobody likes the idea of a PSL, but to be fair to the owners out there, I actually think PSLs are a fair deal if you look at them in a strict business context, especially if you look at the alternative (broad public financing).
Yeah it's a matter of dates. An arena or other small venue can really help a locale out. 50 to 100 nights a year, taxis are picking up customers, restaurants and bars are booming, people are buying swag, parking lots are raking in $10 to $20 a spot, etc. A football stadium does that too, but 10 nights a year.

Between PSLs and the ability to borrow money, and maybe small tax measures that make sense (hotel taxes for the municipality, etc), they can pay for their stadiums and be…
An exceedingly intelligent guy, actually. First from his family to go to college, first from his school to go to an Ivy-level school. 4.3GPA in high school. He's a smart dude... he just chooses to talk like a guy from Compton, not revise his style to fit a Stanford personotype.
The amazing thing is that Ertz MUST HAVE HAD amazing, 34" arms last year while he was the best TE in football, the only receiving option of note on the Rose Bowl Champion team, and the guy who scored game winners v. pro-talent rich teams USC and Oregon.
So I have actually worked on major stadium financing deals before, and I have consistently felt that the Rams position is a complete no-go for the city. Not every deal is bad (the recent NYG and SF49ers deals are actually quite municipality-friendly), but man would this one suck. It's so unreasonable that (unlike…
