There are teams in the NFL that just need a change. Some need a change of coach, some need a change of management, and some just need a change of profession. And then there are some teams that need a change of scenery. Perhaps their home is a bit of a fixer-upper and needs some redecoration, or perhaps a whole new zip code is in order.

The truth of the matter is that the average fans spending their hard-earned money to attend a game and cheer on their favorite teams is not the big revenue-maker for the league. Rather, the luxury boxes and corporate deals are what bring in the big bucks. If you want to attract the big spenders, that means having nothing less than state-of-the-art luxury boxes and the like. Without these amenities, older stadiums and smaller franchises across the league struggle to pull in the money that matches the big-market teams.

Considering the insane success and profitability of the sport, even the worse-off teams are taking a nice cut of the $9 billion pie, so my heart isn?t exactly bleeding for any of these teams. Business-wise, however, outdated stadiums can spell financial doom for franchises and some these stadiums are in desperate (well, desperate in the sense that only millionaires and billionaires can be) need of renovations.

Additionally, with the NFL continuing to expand across borders and oceans, talk of a non-United States-based team is rising. In a less drastic way, the city of Los Angeles? public desire for an NFL franchise has some owners across the league mulling a move.
