If they can build a new stadium completely funded with PRIVATE money (i.e. not a single dollar of taxpayer money), put it in a decent area that's not a hopeless ghetto, guarantee ample parking for 100,000+ cars and prove using modern traffic modeling method that they can get 'em all cleared out in an hour or less after a game, I'd consider going. Maybe.

Other than that, I'll do what I usually do and WALK (translation: no driving, no sitting in traffic and no paying to park) to my local bar and enjoy it on their 60" LCD screens for the price of a beer I enjoy anyway.

Why I should pay a fortune to sit in traffic, spend a fortune to sit in some crappy nosebleed seat and watch the game on TV anyway (usually a jumbotron) is beyond me. Same reason I don't really go to concerts anymore. I don't see the $$$ being worth it. I can get the same entertainment value at home or locally for 1/100 the cost.
