So the NFL wants $50MM in upgrades to Reliant before 2017 (which isn't very far away if your'e talking about major capital improvements that will need to be done next summer I guess). The County doesn't want to pay, it doesn't sound like the Texans want to pay. The NFL sure doesn't want to pay.
I think the whole thing is a bilking of the local economy. I'm not a believer that publicly-financed stadiums are these huge economic windfalls for the citizens that pay for them.
