So if hypothetically the Chargers/Kroenke can not work out a deal, would the Raiders then get the option?
Some hope for San Diego?
agree. The Raiders belong in Oakland. The name, the colors, the black hole... It would be ludicrous to change that brand.I feel bad for the fans in both cities. Fortunately San Diego is such a great city that it won't be as tough to swallow. And St.Louis has the great baseball tradition to keep them occupied.
No one in San Diego, or anywhere really, should find another opportunity for spineless local politicians to be fleeced as hope.
LA lost the teams due to an unwillingness to put up public funds for two new stadiums. The Rams (and Chargers, possibly) own the land and will own the stadium. They can make renovations as they wish (with environmental approval). As long as Kroenke is owner of the Rams, there shouldn't be a problem.
I live in Vegas, so that is small change.
Its awesome, but San Diego is a cut above, no bad weather days there. LA is meh, UNLESS its the Rose Bowl, then I'm all for it, which I believe this team being in the metro region opens the door for Rose Bowl games again. They can sell north of100,000 tix there too.
I think Deano goes back to the negotiating table with San Diego, with the extra 100MIL in new stadium financing.
FIFYI live in Vegas, so that is small change.
Inglewood isn't a great area to be sure, but it is insanely close to the airport for great travel options for those coming into town for the game. Get in, watch the game, get off, get out.....
I'm an appraiser and see Inglewood as the next L.A. neighborhood to be gentrified. Westchester is just to the west and I'm seeing house prices skyrocket. Neighborhoods like Culver City, Mar Vista, and Westchester have all come up in the past decade and I expect west Inglewood (the side west of where the stadium will be) to see similar changes once the stadium is built.
We'll see what San Antonio has to say about this pretty soon, I think. Just check out St Louis...they were still willing to double down on their original mistake and give the Rams even more public money. San Antonio will be the next "LA" IMO to be used as leverage to get money from idiot public servants.
With all due respect, it doesn't seem you have a clue where Carson is. 40 miles from the metro area? Which one?
So it's 27 miles from my house. I stand corrected, but if you live here then you know that's plenty far given traffic. And if you've been to Carson, then you can't tell me that it is somehow representative of LA in any way.
Yes, I do live here. I've been to Carson. It's like 15 minutes from Inglewood. It borders L.A. What is representative of LA? People in San Pedro don't feel represented on the west side. People in the Valley tried to secede from the City. You think Downtown is like the west side or the South Bay or like the valley? East LA? Is Hollywood at all like the South Bay?
You are mistaken. West of LA is the Pacific Ocean. See, to everyone who doesn't live in California, that entire wad of pavement is "LA." The locals only break it down into smaller chunks for ease of giving street directions.
The Jets and Giants are 7 miles from Midtown Manhattan. That's closer than Yankee Stadium
