Re:Why a city should not build a stadium for an NFL team by AnimalMuppet on Wednesday February 03, 2016 @05:35PM (#11030419)
If I understand correctly, the Green Bay Packers cut up the ownership of the team something like 3,000 different ways. They did this deliberately so that the team could never move, because it would be impossible to get a majority in favor of moving.

When the (first) Cleveland Browns moved, the city negotiated that they had to use a different name. They became the Baltimore Ravens, and Cleveland was able to call the new franchise the Browns.

The Baltimore Browns probably also didn't play very well from a PR perspective.
