I can't believe cities don't speak up about the bullshit practice of replacing home games. It may not matter to Clark hunt. But it sure as hell matters to a bar or hotel owner that loses 1/8 of their nfl games.
Another example of the nfl putting money above the fans.

It's tantamount to theft, IMO. Every lost home game is money out of the pockets of working class folk in the service industry & food out of the mouths of their children. If a pro sports organization is partly publicly funded in any significant capacity then they have an obligation, in my opinion, to play as many home games as they are allowed. Entire economies spring up around that public funding, and its the lower rungs on the ladder that get hit hardest when a home game is lost.
