The one thing google did find is that Richmond is losing money on the Skins training camp, so if that is the case then they aren't going to be looking to help with a full stadium issue.

Naw...wont impact the decision. You have to remember, the folks who run the City are incompetent and there are decades of facts to support that one ruling premise. But this will not impact the Stadium decision...not one bit. Its apple and oranges, training camp vs Stadium. In fact it may have been the governors strategy to take a big lose on the TC deal in order to build a relationship towards landing a Stadium deal.

The articles went more into it, but the guy who signed the TC deal is gone, and the city is pushing the Skins to pay a 750,000 / year portion the city is responsible, and may not renew the TC lease.

Not a single soul in Richmond seems to be pleased with the Redskins training-camp deal these days, and no wonder: The city might soon be on the hook for $750,000 a year to pay off the cost of building the facility. That’s on top of the $500,000 the city is supposed to pay the team for practicing in town. At the same time, the hoped-for ancillary business for food vendors, hotels, and the like has fallen far short of expectations.

I don't know whether it will affect their decision or not, but it would need to be addressed I am sure.

Trump woulda look at this, tweeted "bad deal" and woulda pulled out Stormy-style day one in office.

Richmond city is run by generally incompetent folks...but hey glad the Skins on home turf couple weeks a year.
