Perhaps a stupid question, but on large projects like this, is it the same team who built the shell (concrete, steel, etc) that also build-out the interior (lighting, locker rooms, facade, etc)?
It’s serious business here!
I had a poster write a condescending reply because I asked if the NFL could potentially “merge” with the CFL instead of asking if it could potentially be “acquired” by the NFL.
You gotta step carefully, Mango!
I understand why, logically, people think the NFL would want a farm system.
But the they don’t.
The NFL wants more revenue. And only way to get more revenue, is to produce more of the thing that makes revenue. Games. And the only way to produce more games is to have more teams.
Creating a farm system does not help any of that.
I’m not sure I agree.
1) If you just add expansion teams, you would have to build all new stadiums. What new franchise owner wants to fork over a couple billion to do that? And no way the local governments will hand over money to compete against a Canadian league.
2) You will have people who feel they need to chose between CFL and NFL. Not to mention TV contracts. Merge the league and there is no other option.
Thanks. I think a lot of people missed this news today.
The theory is that they are slow-walking the changes to get Canadian fans acclimated and the 4th down will be next.
I found it interesting that the CFL announced many changes today that essentially makes their game more similar to the NFL.
Shrunk their field to 100 yards. Moved goalposts to the back of the endzone. Shrunk the endzone to make them closer to NFL size. Changed the play clock from 20 seconds to 35 seconds. etc
Conspiracy theory without any evidence: They are getting people ready for full NFL fields and rules when the leagues merge at some point in the next decade.

What all these names tell me is that the Hall of Fame is really the “Hall of very good”.
I wish it was really reserved for the best of the best. Meaning, generational players.
Dude what are you talking about?
I was talking about on 2nd down. Goff snapped the ball with 2 or 3 seconds on the clock.
If he just waited another second, Detroit would not have had to run the 3rd down play until after the two minute warning.
