So, what time is our game against LACCLAC this Sunday?

I kinda like the way that sounds.

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.

Where did the Rams play before being tempted to leave town by a newly built Transworld Dome?

Certainly not true.

Rams moved out from LA Coliseum because the stadium seated 100,000 and it was nearly impossible to get a sellout every game in which resulted in local TV blackouts. Rams played in Anaheim for 15 years prior to leaving the market.

Up until 1991, the Rams was at or above the average NFL attendance average For stadium attendance. Attendance declined in 1991 when no one wanted to go to a crappy and delapitated stadium in Anaheim. Has nothing to do with the fan base.

How much money did Atte Moreno put into that stadium when he purchased the Angels?

People keep on talking about how LA is a basketball town, as if St. Louis has always been a football hotbed.  That town is baseball 1st, 2nd, and 3rd.

Will two teams from the same division really play in the same stadium? I guess it would work, but seems like it would be a headache. Am I reading correctly that there could possibly be two new stadiums built. The Carson one for Raiders/Chargers and the other one for the Rams?

Just move somebody there already. LA NFL talk is about as repetitive and boring as Tïm Tebøw talk.

No, one of them would have to switch conferences and it's been reported the Raiders are willing to if it comes to it. The problem isn't even that they'd play in the same stadium. It's that there would be two teams in the same metro area in the same conference which would be a TV scheduling nightmare with CBS being the league's primary AFC broadcaster which is further complicated by the fact that most all west coast team games are in the 4 PM time slot. The Seahawks would likely be the team from the NFC that switches.

That makes sense. Seahawks were an AFC West team from 1977 to 2001. I hope this happens. No more playing them every year.

Not sure because when the Rams moved the Angels moved to reconstruct the stadium to be a baseball only stadium in 1996 that completed in 1998. Moreno bought the team in 2003 so the stadium was still fairly renovated. Essentially, he bought the Angels for $180 million dollars and a newly refurbished stadium.
