7. I considered all of it

and I wasn't defending any of my team's choices to locate here but I root for them because there weren't teams any closer so I became a fan by catching a lot of games. Rockies were the closest team when I became a sports fan which was before the DBacks existed. The Cardinals will be safe for a little while because their stadium is acceptable compared to Dallas and San Francisco's new place. Suns are safe for awhile because the arena was state-of-the-art for it's time in '93 and improved greatly with renovations 7 years ago. When the time goes by, especially for the Cardinals when the NFL is trying to outdo each other in constructing high-end, spotless, art museums that also have a football field, Phoenix University Stadium will soon be obsolete.

That wasn't right w/ the Colts and hopefully I didn't imply that Colts relocation was more ethical than Browns relocation but it convinced Baltimore to fund the costs of a football stadium when previous standing their ground led to that(to be clear, not a good thing). Though it was a little less then a third of the costs it takes to build football stadiums in this decade. Hopefully they aren't asked to build a "Bisciotti World" within 10 years.
