The jealousy is palpable 5 hours ago, OILERMAN said: I never once thought the Titans weren't staying in Nashville. It was never in doubt. And of course it's a bad deal for the city. It's a bad deal or every NFL city that subsidizes a billionaire dollar empire. It's the cost of having a team and if that city doesn't pay that cost the team leaves that city. its not a bad deal for the people of the city if it brings more entertainment and increases their property values. Nashville started becoming the city that it is because the titans came... my home is worth about 12x more than '96. there's people near that neighborhood who are going to 20x on the value returns from their home. worth $500 extra now to me when I already spend significantly more than that on games each year?

Wait, you trust the years of analysis by economists with no reason to be biased over the rationalizations of local fans of the sports team in question?? That's wild!

I'll gladly put support of publicly funded stadiums in the same category as a belief in god and Sasquatch. 2 hours ago, titanruss said: books written by boring bitter little bitches.

I don't know about huge, but it's probably larger in Nashville than other NFL cities since we have so many opposing fans able to attend the games. 14 minutes ago, Titans279 said: Wait, you trust the years of analysis by economists with no reason to be biased over the rationalizations of local fans of the sports team in question??
