The NFL enjoys some of the most lucrative television
contracts in
sports

Layne Jersey , but the league still has put an emphasis on improving the
fan experience. In an effort to boost ticket prices and demand, new stadiums
have been erected to cater to all the consumers' needs. In the wake of all this
new construction is the story of the cities and teams that are woefully
behind.For a city like Buffalo, there are enough issues just trying to keep the
Bills in town, while for a city like San Diego, there is a neighbor to the north
(Los Angeles) that has the NFL's blessing and a large media market breathing
down its neck. These two cities and more face the daunting task of eventually
having to build new stadiums to keep up with the crowd, not to mention to also
keep their teams around.The league's 10 worst stadiums are not necessarily too
small, too old or too bleak. Each stadium has its reasons for failing to measure
up to the NFL's standards, but for a few of these cities there will be no
attempts made to get off this undesirable list. There are a couple of ways by
which a professional football player's life can "fall apart" after they retire.
Speaking to the vast majority of
cases

most athletes either suffer from health problems, familial disasters or run out
of money. The medical and health concerns that result from physical contact on
the football field are largely beyond their own control. The breakdown of
families are a group effort but in most cases, the player is significantly at
fault.Finally, the money. Oh, good ol' money. They say money isn't happiness,
but money is a one-way route to freedom and freedom is very close to happiness.
No matter what, a copious amount of cash is a good start if you're looking to be
happy. This shouldn't be news to anyone. But moving back to the topic of NFL
players and their finances, while these athletes are great at making
money

Talk to any financial expert, they will all tell you that equally important to
making money is keeping it.Keeping money is completely within anyone's scope of
ability. It takes some discipline and a bit of education, but time and time
again it seems that football players lack these two things. Between financial
disasters, destroyed health, being abandoned by their families and other poor
luck/decisions, here are some former football players whose lives completely
disintegrated after their retirement.
