You guys are funny. If a team is moved to LA, the franchise's value increases a half a billion. A chump change scoreboard is an easy loss.

 

Honestly, how does this matter?  I don't get the impression Shad has any intention of selling this team any time soon, whether it be here or in LA, so the value of his franchise has little to no effect on what he's earning.

 

The teams also split ticket and merchandise revenue, which means that 20 million for "a chump change scoreboard" just got a whole lot more significant.  Without selling the team, it would likely take him a very long time to earn back what he already has spent, plus what he would have earned had he stayed put.  It just doesn't make business sense, unless he's selling the team or the stadium is in shambles/lease is ending, which ours isn't.
