NFL in Los Angeles


h0llywood

Recommended Posts

I know the majority of you do not care for Los Angeles or football in Los Angeles, however for those that would like to stay in the loop, I am creating this thread for the sake of detailing the progress of a move back to Los Angeles. 

 

While the return to LA has been decades in the making, I believe that their is finally some legs to the latest round of proposals and the LA market will get a team in the next 1-2 years.

 

Any team that moves to Los Angeles would temporarily play at the Rose Bowl or the Coliseum. 

 

You can read the EIR for the Rose Bowl here

Updates:

 

October 20, 2014 - Mike Florio regards the Rams as the move likely to move to Los Angeles

October 21, 2014 - The NFL begins a market survey in Los Angeles to gauge interest 

-----

 

If the Rams do move to Los Angeles, the most likely location will be in Hollywood Park in Inglewood next to the Great Western Forum

The second most likely scenario would be at Farmer's Field in downtown Los Angeles next to the Staples Center

The third possible site is Los Angeles Stadium in the outskirts of Los Angeles in the City of Industry:

Rumors:

 

- Dodgers Stadium moving to Downtown Los Angeles and moving Farmer's Field to Chavez Ravine (Not going to happen)

- A New stadium in Carson, CA next to the Stubhub Center (Not going to happen)

Oakland and their fans can stay where they are.

 

SoCal does not want the stinking Raiders.

 

First thing that has to happen for football to return to Los Angeles is an Owner to step up willing to build the first Pro Football stadium Los Angeles (Yes. LA has never had a Pro Football stadium) has ever had with his own money. California is overtaxed and overrun with Undocumented Aliens and their is simply zero tax dollars for football.

 

Until this happens it's essentially blackmail by the NFL to get a stadium built in another city currently housing a team with a sub par Stadium. So far this strategy has worked quite well.

I live right by the Rose Bowl.  I would prefer the Rams or Jaguars because Raider fans are really hard to be around personally.  Panthers will always be my team but it'd be nice to be able to go to a game without driving to SD.

The Thug gang mentality in LA that is Raider Nation in SoCal makes the Raiders unsavory to any corporate investment I would think.

Don't know if they still do it but the Raider fan and the fights etc was so bad when Oakland came to San Diego to play the Chargers they would not sell Raider game tickets as singles. You could only buy Raider tickets as a non Season Ticket holder if you bought a group of games.

Anything they could do to keep the Raider fan out of the stadium.

Most local Sports bars will not show Raider games here in Ventura as the problems with the fans out weighs the money Raider fan would spend in their establishments.

 It's that bad.

 

Virtually any other Franchise would thrive in LA with a proper stadium, although I would prefer expansion. I don't want any city losing their team.

I would like to make it into the stadium alive and out in one piece. I would like to bring my kids to a game. I would like to tailgate without having the bangers asking me where I'm from. I'll pass on the Raiders 200%

    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ    
    • I don't know. CMC is like others and may have lip serviced that line of " I had no plan or wanted to leave Carolina" I think he even said he bought a house too and wanted this to be home.   Here's what I heard- In a way Panthers org gave him a test and he didn't "fight" back. They approached CMC and told him they wanted to put him on IR since the "season" was over or out of playoff reach. CMC didn't fight it one lick and agreed. They secretly wanted him to kept playing or want to, but there was no kickback. I honestly don't know if its real or not, 5th hand information type deal doing on. Yes he had bruises and pains, but was able to play...... but went along with Panthers staff. Odd to be playing games with star players, but whatever....   Plus the staff doctors found out about his tendinitis and there was nothing to fix it. Even with him missing time, it was the best move to trade him before he got inflamed constantly.    Lastly, its mostly time a combo of stuff, Fitterererere did not sign him to be the highest paid RB. That was classic Marty "give me a" herniay doing. GMs have different values on roster spots and rumor was Fitterererer was one that didn't want to pay RBs. For all his faults, he's right about that......
