Wait I can buy an ABA team for $5,000? If I get enough of you to volunteer to drive the team to games we can get this done. I will be the Mike Brown of the ABA. I wonder how bad my trophy girl will be. I wonder if butt fun lady is available or the job.

It looks like they play in all sorts of high school gyms. In Indy they play at Arsenal Technical High School. The coach is also the owner and the assistant coach is his son. I am not sure they are a ripe choice to purchase.

I think the problem is if you don't have an NFL team, the next facebook isn't going to spends its billions of shareholder swindled funds in your city to build dumb office buildings and hire overpaid workers. it is just like the subdivision pool no one uses but if you don't have one people skip your houses when they are for sale.

Edit: This doesn't apply to LA and some other citys that have other amenities like soul crushing gridlock.

Force them to sell the team to some richer rear end in a top hat that has a billion to burn. Problemo solved. Don't teams alway have a bidding war when they go up for sale? I am not crying for any broke rear end NFL owner who can't afford to own a team.

Ahahahaha looks like the city and the stadium board should have gotten a first tier team guarantee or tied the stadium quality to team quality. Looks like a slam dunk to me for the LA Rams to be back. No city should agree to build a stadium without the option to buy the team at a fixed price.

Fun fact if you drive on the 405N past Ikea there is a building in Carson that still has banners hanging up that say "Welcome Raiders" & "Welcome Chargers".

It would cost money to pull them down. Someone kickstarter getting them changed to gently caress Kroenke.

I envision a stadium with a slot machine and sports gambling screen at every seat. Tickets are free as a comp if you gamble enough each week. This could work if you make the goal post a stripper pole.

Colts are 13 miles from the airport but because we have 20 lane highways and no people the travel time is 15 minutes. On the downside you can't actually find an airline that flys here.
