The number I've seen is $100 million, and rumor has it this may accelerate expansion:
I am worried it is going to become too large, and unmanageable.
I'm not sure the fans have stomach for more expansion, given how little of our teams we recognize from season to season. I think you could probably handle the "too large to manage" problem by ending single entity, but it doesn't seem like ownership has much enthusiasm for that.
Once the new season starts I will be unable to fit all of the team colors on the community logo, nor will I be able to keep up with all of the games to post stats from them. Any more than what we have and it is going to feel too diluted.
