Carson City Council (Los Angeles) approves $1.7-billion NFL stadium

[Bartin]

5 teams in Cali?

What a clusterfug that would be.

Not to mention trying to make divisions for a 34 team league. Also talent dilution. There's already enough trouble trying to find 32 decent QBs and finding enough competent OL.

Now it's a race between the Rams/Chargers/Raiders to see who can get there first. Suspect it will be Rams/Chargers.

Rams to LA in Inglewood is the most likely to happen. Kroenke has already invested millions on real estate and partnerships with investors to finance the stadium.

Chargers and Raiders on the other hand, their move is contingent on both teams moving. There's a report that states the city of Carson will lose money if only one team moves.

A team in Los Angeles is almost certainly a done deal, with the Rams being the team.

It's just now a waiting game for the teams to petition to move and the owners voting. The Rams will be playing at the Rose Bowl in 2016.

The LA experiment has failed already. That's a basketball city. Fug those snobby d-bags.

Ad Populum Fallacy

On top of an old landfill site? What could possibly go wrong?

If they build it with more than 40,000 seats they are lying to themselves.

This will certainly provide nice leverage for whichever teams want to hold their current city hostage for some free stuff now that there is going to be an unoccupied NFL ready stadium sitting there waiting for a suitor.  Going to be some shaking down going on around the league.

This always cracks me up.

 

Dodgers, Angels, Lakers, Clippers, Kings and Ducks always at or near the top in League attendance nation wide.

If you don't understand the NFL Football Stadium, or rather lack thereof decades ago, then you have no clue of what actually occurred.

[CarolinaCoolin]

Yep, but I don't think any city should lose their team.

Expansion, 2 teams to LA.

All Goodell thinks about though is playing more games across the pond.

Why wouldn't he be thinking global though for the NFL? It's like with oil. The well of new fans here is pretty much tapped. The NFL is probably the biggest thing in our country now. But you have all this untapped money sitting over across the ocean of course they are looking to expand. It's smart business at the very least

This isn't minecraft. the stadium takes 2 years to build

All I know is the last few years the Rams were in Los Angeles their attendance sucked.  Now if it is your assertion that over the last 20 years LA has evolved to the point that it may now choose to support an NFL team, even if it sucks for the first few years, then maybe you're right.  It certainly wasn't happening the last time they had one, however.

Well I didn't mean it would start happening tomorrow.

The proposal is for a privately financed stadium built by and for the Chargers and Raiders. They won't even start construction until both teams are guaranteed to move.
