It's farther. With traffic, probably 2 hours from North County and 3 from San Diego.So for those unfamiliar with Southern California, is Inglewood further from San Diego (than Carson) , i.e. harder for existing Chargers fans to get to?
Everything I've read says Spanos is reluctant to be a partner or tenant, especially a tenant. Has he changed his tune? $$ might do that.
Yes, Inglewood is a bit further north from Carson but not a big difference. Maybe another 15-20 minutes if you are coming up from SD.So for those unfamiliar with Southern California, is Inglewood further from San Diego (than Carson) , i.e. harder for existing Chargers fans to get to?
"Existing Chargers fans" from San Diego will no longer exist once the move because official, because #### LA.So for those unfamiliar with Southern California, is Inglewood further from San Diego (than Carson) , i.e. harder for existing Chargers fans to get to?
I think the problem is Kroenke would own the Inglewood stadium.Everything I've read says Spanos is reluctant to be a partner or tenant, especially a tenant. Has he changed his tune? $$ might do that.![]()
He is PUSHING to partner with the Raiders in Carson. Apparently he will even push against the drive to get him and Kroenke together to the point it pushes everything back a year which no one wants.
No one knows. This is why the good lord created Twitter.Are we getting some news today on the future of these 3 teams from NFL owners ?
Jason Cole @JasonColeBR 57s58 seconds agoReport: L.A. committee recommends Carson over Inglewood
Posted by Darin Gantt on January 12, 2016, 1:06 PM EST
[SIZE=1em]The full ownership might decide to go a different route.[/SIZE]But the NFL’s Los Angeles committee has spoken, and they prefer Carson to Inglewood.
According to Sports Business Daily, the league’s six-owner committee on L.A. Opportunities has recommended the Carson project which to this point has been presented as a Chargers-Raiders partnership, instead of the Rams-backed Inglewood site.
According to the report, it’s unclear if the lean toward Carson is the same as a preference for the Chargers and possibly Raiders, as the notion of Chargers-Rams pairing there remains possible.
But frankly, it’s the owners, so anything’s still possible when you put 32 very rich and powerful people who aren’t used to hearing “No ” in a room together.
The Carson project was presented by Disney CEO Bob Iger, who was recruited to the effort by committee member and Panthers owner Jerry Richardson.
The other committee members are Steelers owner Art Rooney, Giants owner John Mara, Chiefs owner Clark Hunt, Patriots owner Robert Kraft and Texans owner Bob McNair.
It’s unclear if the recommendation was unanimous. It will take 24 votes to approve any relocation, and this is clearly still a very fluid situation.
I read it as no more than 1 team in LA.I dunno what that means, Hunt said only one team per stadium?

#NFL LA comm recommends Carson site 5-1. Lone exception: #Chiefs owner Clark Hunt, who said should 1 team or none #Rams #Chargers #Raiders
Makes sense....getting the Rams out of St. Louis probably helps out his Kansas City Chiefs.Meaning Hunt is in Kroenke's corner.Jason Cole @JasonColeBR 57s58 seconds agoReport: L.A. committee recommends Carson over Inglewood

TV markets is where the $$$ is. Oak. & SD don't want Kroenke to come in and take a big piece of the pie.It's weird, maybe those owners are jealous and don't want Kroenke having the L.A. football to himself, stadium and everything...
One will be realigned to another division/conference.I don't understand how they can have 2 division rivals share one stadium. seems...wrong. like Superman & Lex Luthor sharing a 1 bedroom apartment.
One team will go to the NFC. Either team Chargers or Raiders said both are willing to change conferences.I don't understand how they can have 2 division rivals share one stadium. seems...wrong. like Superman & Lex Luthor sharing a 1 bedroom apartment.
They better make sure to pat down fans for Sharpies. The bathrooms will have more graffeti than a middle school.I don't understand how they can have 2 division rivals share one stadium. seems...wrong. like Superman & Lex Luthor sharing a 1 bedroom apartment.
Makes more sense to me to move the Chargers. The Raider vs Chiefs/Broncos is much more intense rivalry than Charger vs Chiefs/Broncos but all I have heard was moving the Raiders out. Likely switching Raiders and Rams actually.One team will go to the NFC. Either team Chargers or Raiders said both are willing to change conferences.I don't understand how they can have 2 division rivals share one stadium. seems...wrong. like Superman & Lex Luthor sharing a 1 bedroom apartment.
Money is power.A few tweets circulating that said Kroenke warned the other owners against "crossing him" on the L.A. vote.
Also, in the unlikely event the Raiders and Chargers get the nod I can't see the Raiders moving to the NFC. Raiders/49ers twice a year would result in multiple fan homicides.
Yup...he's one of a few that could actually afford to "take on" the NFL.Money is power.A few tweets circulating that said Kroenke warned the other owners against "crossing him" on the L.A. vote.

His father should have never moved them in the first place, then moved them again.If I'm Mark Davis, I go scorched earth on the NFL and Goodell unless the Raiders get major concessions to miss out on L.A.
Not could, he is taking them on, just this time it is happening behind closed doors and not in court.Yup...he's one of a few that could actually afford to "take on" the NFL.Money is power.A few tweets circulating that said Kroenke warned the other owners against "crossing him" on the L.A. vote.

Negotiating how much money they are going give Mark Davis once he cuts a deal with Oakland for the land to build a stadium.Is everyone getting lap dances up there? When are they going to announce this ####??
Why do you keep posting this in multiple threads when clearly it is not done? Poor form, dude.its done!!! RAMS CHARGERS!!!!

First round of votes completed. Rams/TBD in Inglewood gets more votes than Raiders/Chargers in Carson. Nobody at required 24 yet.
I had seen a news source call it a done deal, and then they pulled it back. Made it sound like the vote had already happened.LawFitz said:Why do you keep posting this in multiple threads when clearly it is not done? Poor form, dude.Bucky86 said:its done!!! RAMS CHARGERS!!!!
Kroenke has the money to build his own stadium. They aren't going to put Rams/Raiders there so it must be Rams/Chargers. I still don't see how the Chargers can win in that deal though. They will be playing second fiddle in someone else's stadium.dirtyjay said:Rams to LA is virtually a lock.Bucky86 said:Sam Farmer @LATimesfarmer 2m
