  • President Kennedy asks Congress for $531 million to put a man on the moon
  • President Kennedy challenges the U.S. to land a man on the moon before the end of the decade
  • "Freedom Riders" travel throughout the South to test and promote integration measures - many are assaulted and beaten
  • The 23rd Amendment to the Constitution is ratified - permits electors in the District of Columbia to choose electors for President and Vice President
  • U.S. breaks diplomatic relations with Cuba
  • Fidel Castro declares Cuba is to adopt Communism and bans free elections

thanks talismen25

Looks like the Cap will be 120 million, which in effect is about the same as NO Cap.

Yes. Each year at draft time you'll get an extra draft pick. If you cut or release 4 players you'd need 4 draft picks to replace those 4 players, so that year you'd actually get 5 draft picks. When and if you use the extra pick for a stadium is up to you. The extra pick can only be used for a stadium, not for an extra player. If you don't use it to change stadiums then you lose it.
