Bud Adams did the same thing to Houston w/ the Oilers. We spent $67M updating Dome, and that SOB still wanted a new stadium? We knew he wanted out of Houston if he didn't get his new stadium... the Oilers played to a basically empty Dome after Adams pissed of the fans, no real radio or TV broadcasts... so he moved to TN and renamed the team.
Saddest day in my NFL watching life...
