NFL Relocation

Every once in a while NFL teams pack there bags and decide to relocate. This can be caused by many reasons the main reason is because most NFL teams are privately owned with means the owner has the design weather to move. they can be influenced by the amount of money in the city/state. For example the Oakland raiders and the saint lois rams both want to relocate to L.A which has been without a team for 20 years.

 The teams want to move as Los Angeles is the second most wealthy state in the country and this means these teams would realistically make a larger income then they previously did. Another reason teams try to relocate is lack of fans or there are more fans of a certain team in a certain place then where they are already. More fans means more merchandise bought, more tickets sold and ultimately leads to a large income from a fan base. Another large reason for teams to move are the stadiums. As you can guess a 90,000 seat stadium is not cheap to build or to re furbish but if there is a stadium not being used and is better than your stadium you are bound to want to try and get it.
