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%

      Yeah I'm not against picking someone with physical tools.  But Josh Allen is creating a lot of fools gold in front offices' eyes.  They still have to be good at football at the end of the day.

      Where does Bryce rank as a draft bust?

      By carpanfan96 · Posted

      Trey is the backup QB for SD, Zack Wilson is the backup for Miami.  I don't think BY is even a NFL caliber back up.

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Honestly it depends on your definition of bust. I think there is an argument to be made that he's not even Top 2 since 2021, and that's coming from one of the bigger anti Bryce people here since before we even drafted him. I think Zack Wilson and Trey Lance both had more pre-draft hype than Bryce did, maybe by a wide margin, and both of them ended up turning out even worse than Bryce has.   Plus the 49ers gave up almost as much as we did for Bryce to take an unproven raw D2 QB who hadn't played in a year because Covid shut that level of football down.  While the Jets turned down all sorts of big offers to take Wilson as well. We made Bryce a bust by making the trade and then taking him, despite him not being liked by many analysts for the same reasons that was clear to so many of us fans.  It was widely talked about being a bad QB draft, so much so that the Bears stuck with Justin Fields for another year and traded away the #1 pick because of it. So as bad as Bryce has been, I honestly don't think he ranks near the top of the all time busts list, mainly because I think people forget he wasn't some can't miss prospect and we're the idiots who made a bad trade to take him to make it just look worse.
