Only if you keep allowing it.
Panthers
Texans
Patriots
Giants/Jets
Dolphins
Rams/Chargers
That's 1/4th of the NFL that aren't playing in taxpayer funded stadiums.
When it comes time that the NFL decides that our stadium isn't new enough for their tastes, I can't see how $1.5b+ is worth 8-10 ever-increasingly-unaffordable games a year. What are they going to do? If they keep moving a lot of teams, it's going to kill their brand as it gets detached from cities and becomes more mercenary. Besides, there's only so many viable markets.
