Repeating mistakes of the past I guess. Just like how 25 years ago they didn't want a dome, and now they can't live without one.

Honestly, I believe its due to their cash poor position. They cannot afford the stadium as planned right now, let alone one with the capacity to host a Super Bowl. My guess with all this posturing and back and forth between the city and AH is to position the team for a sale, either in part or in full, to someone with deeper pockets. The McCaskey's simply do not have the money to build anything without state or outside investor help, even if the NFL puts up funds for half the build. This is why there has been so much talk and very little to show for it.

You and me both, brother. Don't let the door hit you on the way out, guys.
