Whatever slant you put on it, this is bad news for us if it happens.
The end game was obviously trying to get a franchise, as the investment required for the NFL fit out doesn’t seem justified for just 2 games a year ( not to mention carving up the East stand with additional corporate almost certainly with the NFL in mind).
Yep. I think people palming it off as "No we didn't just build it for the NFL, we'll have concerts there still" etc. are kidding themselves. There's no way in hell Levy spend all that extra money on NFL stuff just for 2 games a season plus a couple of Adele concerts. This is a massive blow not just in terms of having spent the money on stuff that won't pay for itself, it's also going to impact the potential exposure we'd have got on the American market and also on the valuation of any kind of naming rights deal.
There's no doubt in my mind Levy had smoke coming out of his ears morning
