They've subsequently changed the lease a couple of times, including when the last round of renovations started to assure that it's even more iron clad than it was when this article was written. 

 

This notion that Khan could eventually move the team may have had some validity right after he took over.  The investments he's made in the scoreboards, NEZ upgrades, locker room and club upgrades, and their future plans to completely revamp the club sections to give them better views of the field from inside, as well as the agreement to build a state of the art practice facility are all signs of a more significant commitment to the city than anyone anticipated 4 years ago when he bought the team. Add to that his significant investments in the local economy with real estate investments downtown, and investments in local businesses, along with the shipyard project, and it's even more obvious that his goal is to take this small market and turn it into something far more significant.  What Shad Khan has repeatedly shown is that, unlike those still looking for an angle to play up the relocation talk, he has a long-term vision for this team and this city.  I can't see him abandoning that.
