Quote: Chris71 "I guess as you picked Chicago as an example then the United Centre would be more accurate as it owned by the Blackhawks & Bulls organisations jointly. Fans of both clubs were devastated the old Chicago Stadium was to be demolished but knew the way forward was the United Centre. However they still designed & built the United Centre with the old Chicago Stadium in mind, as a way to try and keep some of the tradition and past. Its a fantastic Stadium/Arena too (best I've been too) which also helped the transition.
So if they sold the United Centre I guess the fans (myself as an ardent Hawks fan) initially would be pee'd off as long another stadium was available then it would soon be forgotten about.
Soldier Field is more akin to the KCOM in terms of ownership, Wembley just an asset (or mill stone) of the FA.
Problem is they claim Wembley is the national Stadium but in reality it isn't as its not government owned.'"
Depends on covenants, which I am struggling to find any detail of. IF (when?) the FA sell it then people should refuse to visit it. I am a big NFL fan, but selling for NFL is a step too farr.
