UnitedWhofans Posted January 13, 2017 Author Share Posted January 13, 2017 3 minutes ago, Il Mostro said: I know it seems unlikely since the Jets are an established team with no attendance or revenue problems. But with the jets gone, the NFL could put an expansion team in NY with the owners pocketing incredibly big money. Nothing, no matter how absurd, would surprise me these days. I would waver on calling them established. They don't have their own stadium, their games are amongst the least watched in the NFL, there is no singular rooting community for them (an area that is majorly Jets territory), and they have an owner who will probably be living an ocean away.

Matthew007b Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 That would be so depressing if this team moved to St. Louis! I doubt it's true but it would make some sense since there is already a stadium there.. but still I just can't see it. I can see the Jaguars franchise doing this but I think London would be more attractive than St. Louis.. anyway I'm sick of these NFL teams moving.

Maxman Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Forbes has the Jets value listed at 2.75 billion right now. They are the 7th highest NFL franchise. If someone bought them at NY Prices and moved them to a former failed football city in the middle of the country that owner would lose like 700 million right away in value.

JetPotato Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Frankly, I'd welcome it. It's just a logo. A change like this with an expansion team could mean I could potentially move on to a legitimate franchise for a change. However, it makes no logical sense. If the Busch family desires a team in St. Louis and the league plans to expand 4 more teams (which includes a backfill in NY), the Busch family could just acquire one of the new franchises for significantly less money and no lease at the air conditioner to break.

bitonti Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Has anyone actually been to St. Louis, Missouri recently? Kansas City supports their team through rabid turnout of SEC types but STL the city is absolutely screwed. And Missouri the state can't really support two NFL teams. If they did move, London would be more likely. The city is rich as sh*t, it's a relatively untapped market and Woody's UK ambassadorship synergizes neatly with that possibility. ** But either way a move is not likely as the Jets are the 5th most valuable team in the league, despite their recent losing streak. The team has tripled in value since Woody bought it. They still sell out tons of seats and sell tons of merch, despite being awful. It's a money machine and Woody should be pleased as punch.

I'm with you, could give a $hit less right now. Having said that, I believe the NFL is done forever in STL. They had 2 teams, they lost 2 lost teams, as LA will by the way.

Thai Jet Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 This would just be frosting on the cake. After all the BS we've gone thru since 68 this would be the ultimate slap in the face. That being said I find it impossible that the NFL would let that happen. Maybe someone in St. Louis got a hold of some bad weed or something.
