It's also about being able to host as many other money making events as possible as I am pretty sure the team makes a percentage of revenue every time the stadium is used.

The facts of the matter is that the average lifespan of these stadiums is about 25-30 years...and we are 15 years into M&T. It will either go through major renovations or the prospect of replacement will be brought up in the next decade or so.

Out of curiosity how long is the lease on M&T with the Ravens as of today.

That number will have a lot to do with this. I would never expect Steve B to use the moving out of Maryland threat but the logical time for this to really start becoming a hot topic would seem to be around the time the lease comes due if its more than say 5yrs out. My guess is that the current stadium gets a massive face lift that improves the aesthetics and increases the number of suites/boxes.
