Lacob and crew have been okay with the Lux. tax hit, even though it will keep getting bigger. But he wants that teams firing on all cylinders when they open the new stadium.

Again, this has to be a convo that the entire front office had a long time ago. And this is a team that's very good at planning ahead. I'm guessing that they a very good idea of how they want things to shake out.
