The Texans have one of the nicest stadiums ever built. Too bad the team sucks.

For the Skins, Pats and Cowboys, a lot of that extra money is generated by the large number of media outlets that carry their radio and tv programming to multiple states. Thats something many of the other teams just can't match.
