Is it that bad of a stadium? Or do all teams need upgrade?

In reply to: Sounds like the Fire are buying out the bridgeview lease posted by miamioh_irishfan

It seems like so many older stadiums of the Chicago Fire, Columbus Crew, FC Dallas are struggling to keep up with the Jones'. However tossing a $80 mil stadium after 15 years is hardly economic. Maybe these stadiums are just too far outside of the urban area to compete?

All these older stadiums (Mapfre, SeatGeek etc.) were built at 1/4 to 1/20th the cost of these new stadiums (Audi), so the upgrade cost is going to be astronomical. Do these teams actually have this investment?
