L.A Raiders. Al Davis's son has already said that they need a new stadium wherever it may be. If Oakland doesn't agree to build one with in a year the Raiders move back

No offense, but it's not even close. New Orleans comes out so far ahead on the deal it's not even debatable.

Why in the world does that thing cost so much?
The Seahawks' stadium was only like $300 million and it's one of the best in the NFL.


Inflation, oil prices and just other expenses. When they 1st wanted new stadium was around the 350 mark

In most cities this might be true, but for New Orleans/LA it isn't.

New Orleans is different. Most cities haven't hosted 10 Super Bowls

You still have the cost of updating the Super Dome, if not you don't get the Final Four, the BCS title game.
