Relocation and New Stadiums idea

[GoIrish]

I like the payments over multiple years idea. The only catch is we'd have to put a cap on how much could be borrowed and people would have to understand that they can't do any further upgrades until the current ones are paid.

But I like it. 50M in cash is a shit ton of money - especially when we already have people concerned about tanking. Making up that much money without tanking is tough.

Maybe we allow teams to borrow 50M or 100M at a time for stadium upgrades and we have a set of standards for interest that would accrue in that time:

If paid in 1 year: 0%
2 years: 3%
3 years: 5%
4 years: 7%
5 years: 10%

Or something to that effect.

I agree Andy, there would need to be a sliding % for the interest rates based off the length of the loan.

We would also need to make sure that we had some sort of punishment in place for delinquency in payments.

Mike,

I do agree that is why I said we would need to address the who's what's and how's we would allow relocation but I think that is an idea that could create more activity for the league. I also don't feel it is too far from what we are going to see in real life. These cities know the revenue that the teams bring to the table, so do the businesses in the area.

I also don't think we have many markets out there that will turn a low market tieam to a high market. All of the games high markets are tapped already. If anything some changes might be low market to mid market teams. Which that in itself could help teams become a tad more competitive.
