I've been experimenting with playing a career starting back in the 1930's. Obviously, I can't really keep the financial model accurate, and I don't expect to. However, there is one thing I've noticed while looking at the stadium overviews for all the teams in the league.

The Arizona Cardinals stadium says "Stadium construction to be completed in 2006."

Now, this is funny, and even somewhat appropriate, given the actual history of the franchise, but I think this means that because the Cardinals start the game with a construction plan in place, there's no way to change that completion date. So, if I start the league in 1930, the Cardinals are stuck with the same ballpark for 76 years.

Just wondering if anyone else noticed this, and if Jim is reading, if there's any way to fix it...

I have noticed this. Actually, I noticed it first in FBB, but the same problem exists in FOF, too.

You should post this in the bug thread or otherwise bring it to Jim's attention.

I want to know what the stadium's rating is after 76 years...

I'll be keeping an eye on it, if I play a career that long. :D

Well, I mailed it to Jim, along with an offer for a copy of the Paris Hilton video. We'll see if he responds... ;)

I started a league in 1922 because I think that's when the NFL started, I was going to start with AZ, but I didn't want to wait that long before I could build a stadium, and I didn't want to play that long and then be surprised by what kind of stadium the Bidwills built. I'd love it if this could be fixed.
