Poor cities are routinely looted by NFL owners under threat of moving the team to another location, which leaves the cities with huge bills to pay on empty stadiums.  Minneapolis taxpayers had to pony up $500 million in 2012 to prevent the Vikings from moving to L.A., and $350 million in taxpayer funding was not enough for St. Louis to keep the Rams.  The city of Pontiac, Michigan, has had to sue to seek repairs of safety and zoning violations at the abandoned Pontiac Stadium, which hosted the [[Super Bowl]] in 1982.
