Rams  have the best plan from everything I have heard.   Problem is that the NFL wants two teams. 

I have also heard that most owners want to take care of their buddy in SD so they like his inferior plan.  One problem with this plan is that Oakland has no money, I think the Chargers are just using them to increase their odds because it is a two team deal.   I have also heard that many in LA do not want the Raiders back. 

The best solution seems to be to have SD join the Rams plan.  Two possible problems here is that I guess the Rose Bowl can only house one team (someone correct me if I am wrong) and StL is the only city with a viable new stadium plan (the NFL does not want to move in such a scenario). 

A possible solution to the first one would be to have just one team in the Rose Bowl and the other moves when the new stadium is built. Other than picking who goes first that is an easy fix. 

As to the second problem, a friend of mine lived in StL and has said that while the city wants the NFL if the Rams left and they got a new team they would not be heartbroken.   They just want a team to root for while they want for their true love (baseball) to return.  

What if the Rams moved to LA with the Chargers and the Raiders went to StL once the new stadium is built?  It would seem weird during the process but it would be the best way to get the most people what they want.

Why not leave the teams set where they are and make a new one in LA?..............It has been long rumored that Brian France of Nascar wants to sell out of his family's business and own an NFL franchise....... and in the city of LA too..........

Because they would have to add multiple new teams and/or realign all the divisions, you can't exactly make an even bracket with 33 teams.

The Rose Bowl is only viewed as a temporary solution while a new stadium is built, same as the Coliseum. Teams will only be moving to LA if a new stadium deal is set in stone as part of moving the Franchises.

Goodell shyts on all the stadium proposals to keep teams in Oakland, St. Louis and San Diego.

Quote

The current stadiums in Oakland, St. Louis and San Diego are "unsatisfactory and inadequate," and the proposed solutions are not viable to keep the Raiders,Rams and Chargers in their home markets, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodellsaid in a report distributed Saturday to all 32 teams.

The contents of the 48-page report were disclosed to The Times by someone who has seen it but is not authorized to discuss it publicly.

The intent of the report is to establish facts about the home markets, as the league views them, heading into a special meeting in Houston on Tuesday and Wednesday to resolve the two-decade L.A. vacancy.

The report does not give teams the green light to move to Los Angeles — that will be determined by owners' voting — but establishes that the home markets have failed to provide stadium solutions.

.....

After the meeting, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, who did not attend, sent a one-page letter to Goodell saying that he supports the Chargers and Rams sharing the Inglewood stadium. The letter didn't mention the Raiders, a person familiar with the document said on the condition of not being identified.

Last month, Chargers owner Dean Spanos affirmed the “strong partnership” between his team and the Raiders in a letter to the league's L.A. committee dismissing an offer to share the Inglewood venue with the Rams.

Goodell's report says each of the teams has worked, without success, for many years to improve its stadium situation and identifies problems with each home market's response to the situation.

Oakland, while expressing an interest in keeping the Raiders, has not made a formal stadium proposal.

May be the NFL will proceed with moving the Rams and Chargers, but  the Raiders who once tried to extort a new stadium from Oakland by moving to LA and spitting in the face of the NFL can suck hind tit.

I never liked the Los Angeles Raiders.
