Last roadblock removed for L.A. stadium

After intense negotiations, a lawsuit filed by the nearby city of Walnut has been resolved, clearing a path for the construction of a new football stadium in the L.A.-area city of Industry.

The settlement renders efforts to change California environmental laws unnecessary. The group building the stadium, led by Ed Roski, had been lobbying the California legislature aggressively for the revision that would have mooted the lawsuit.

Members of the Walnut City Council approved the settlement by a 3-1 vote.

And so the project may now proceed.

This place might even make Jerruh jealous and won't have a scorboard issue.

short list

What NFL team will move to Los Angeles?

Since the league has no plans to expand and most current teams are playing in new stadiums, the new Los Angeles team is going to have to come from another city.

There are only five possibilities.

1. Oakland Raiders – Davis is unhappy with the way things worked out in Oakland. He sued the NFL after moving back to Oakland claiming they sabotaged his efforts to get a new stadium built in LA. The Raiders lost the case, but can move back when their Oakland deal expires.

2. San Diego Chargers – This team originated in Los Angeles in the old America Football League. The Chargers are lobbying for a new stadium and plans are on the board for one to be built in San Diego County.

3. Buffalo Bills – The Bills are in the smallest market, their stadium needs upgrades and owner Ralph Wilson is 89 years old. But since this is New York State’s only team (The Giants and Jets play in New Jersey), every effort will be made to keep them in place.

4. Minnesota Vikings – This team has a solid fan base and tradition but play in the outdated Metro-Dome. The Vikings usually sell out their games, so moving out of the Twin Cities would be a last resort move.

5. Jacksonville Jaguars – One has to wonder why this market was awarded a team to begin with. The Jaguars are a third wheel in Florida compared to the Miami Dolphins and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The games never sell out and the fan base is too small. This could be the team that heads west.

Jags should be the team that moves. What team do the majority of people in LA root for? Chargers?

I spent the weekend in Disneyland for my daughters' birthday. There was Charger gear everywhere.

Some still support thr Rams but when Frontierre took the tam East she can kiss may ass. There is a Raider contingent but by and large they aren't the kind of people you'd want to share a stadium with.

I'd prefer expansion, I don't want any city losing their team.

I'm not a big fan of LA teams but it would be nice if one of our division rivals moved there. This way I can go see the Panthers play locally.

Yeah that was sweet when the Panthers were in the NFC west, now I got to wait the 2-3yr rotation for Oak or SF

I still don't think L.A is going to embrace someone else's trash. L.A fans are fickle fair weather fans the L.A honeymoon will last maybe a season or two but unless the team is in SB contention every season, it's Black-Out Baby

Yeah.

That's why the Dodgers draw 3.5 to 4 million fans every year. The Lakers sell out, the Angels draw huge crowds.

Football suffered in L.A. because the Rams played in the Angels baseball stadium clusterfug and the Raiders played in the aging Colliseum shithole filled with the kind of people only the Raiders draw.

Build a football stadium that is a destination and seats will be packed.

      BREAKING:Panthers re-sign Chuba Hubbard

      By KillerKat · Posted

      Morgan still has a little John Fox in him. Got to value those RBs even though they have been devalued for around a decade now. Never go more than 2-3 years on a contract unless he is a superstar, never pay high money and never draft a RB high unless you are set everywhere else. We failed on the first and third rules.

      BREAKING:Panthers re-sign Chuba Hubbard

      By Basbear · Posted

      This is some good solid logic. I still go back to the teams think tank and it includes the current Dan Morgan, each looked over the roster of holes and came to a clear conclusion that the RB needed improving. They could have gave the same 2022 Miles contract to Hubbard, but didn't. Next up Morgan trades up for a RB with sanders and Hubbard here in his last year. While the edge group is lead bye Charles "panthers are the only team that wanted me " harris Hubbard keeps grinding and improves along with the OL, *now* months after seeing brooks on the field and watching hub get like 5.1 ypc...the brain trust goes and gives him a updated miles contract.........Just a odd timeline of events, I believe all of us can agree on that. Just the market is at the lowest its ever been for RBs and this team is 2-7 with other losing seasons with hubbard chugging along as a cheap rookie. I do agree with you sorta need 2 starting level RBs, so use a mid-rounder or sign one in FA for 2-4 per. Hubbard signed for more than King Henry, sure age and all. Id still want Henry for 8per over 2 years than hubbard 8.3 over 2(his cut point) Honestly part of is still pissed form the Herniay era and spending top draft picks and top level cap space on RBs. I love the guy but they even signed toldozer for upper money with stew and dwill, just poor management of resources. Now 20 years later, history repeats while the league is laughing at the Panthers. I want to over spend and over use draft capital on WRs, edge, and DL. At they rotate and play at the same time, panthers never used stew and dwill at the same time while both were top 5 paid. ugh
