They would if they get to keep the sweetheart stadium deal.

To move they'd have to pay ~$500m in a relocation fee and then likely have to pay for building their own stadium (~$1-2b, or more depending on where they move to).

It'd more than double the price of buying the team if they moved it elsewhere. Meanwhile they could stay here on a highly favorable deal and just spend like $100m or so to spruce up the stadium.
