OT Credit Crunch America's team style?


http://clusterstock.alleyinsider.com...es-debt-crunch



Quote:
Sports Business Journal: The Dallas Cowboys are seeking to borrow $350 million by Dec. 1, according to numerous finance sources, in one of the worst credit environments in the nation’s history.

The club’s proposed deal would refinance $126 million the team borrowed last year through the now-imploded auction-rate securities market, as well as add new debt to cover cost overruns at the team’s $1.2 billion stadium that is set to open next year, the sources said.

That's just a shame really.

Pffft...I wont worry for five seconds about Jerry Jones and the NFL to get something done. They will be sitting pretty and turning a huge profit in no time.

don't come so quick with the 'turning a profit quick'

many of those who signed up for season tickets will be dropping out. This economy is not set up for a huge stadium sell out. I think he might have built a stadium that is TOO BIG to fill. The economy was BOOMING when he planned it...now it's a different story.

If they fail to make the playoffs....look out for a 1/2 or 3/4 filled stadium in the future...

They fill OTHER team's stadiums.. Your saying they won't fill their own?

Economy is pretty bad, it'll have to get a lot worse before that happens imo.

Do you have $10,000 to 30,000 PER SEAT to own a season ticket? Jones is a greedy old SOB trying to get his criminal players and his new stadium built by all his fans and the fans have revolted in buying tix by the boatload. I live in Dallas and the talk today on the air of how he is taking advantage of the normal fans is humoring. I luv hearing fans and media rip the Cowpies, it makes my day!!!

Are you listening yet, cheese? I told you the stadium financing fiasco was driving Jackass Jones' panic signings.

He is in danger of losing not only his stadium but his team ownership as well.
