I say that from some personal knowledge and from the historical perspective of nothing happening in South Florida to get a stadium deal done.
It is economically if not physically obsolete. When you have a special event like Sugar Bowl or Super Bowl, people care less about how far away the field is or a bathroom in the luxury box. But for annual ticket buyers, it's a big deal to them.
Once you announce you're moving the team, you give up your key piece of leverage. When they moved, a new stadium deal was expected to take a matter of months. It took eight years.
They are girding for the uncapped year, ... They're planning for it. It's getting to the point where the two sides are so entrenched that getting a deal will be very difficult.
