This law is a complete joke.

For one, I'm not sure the crew have actually run afoul of it. The stadium was financed privately and not taxing the stadium hardly seems like it fits the strict legal definition of the modell law.

The parking lot around the stadium isn't owned by the team at all, its part of the fair grounds and has other use.

And the entire law has to run afoul of interstate commerce protections.

It's dumb. I get that you don't want to lose a team, and I certainly am not entirely ok with how this went down, but this is America and you can't force a business owner to stay where they don't want to be. Now, if they are breaking some kind of contract, sue for damages but trying to force a business to operate at the states discretion and not the owner/operators is really dumb.
