Report: Raiders, Chargers Considering Joint LA Stadium

Owners just voted 30-2 to support the Rams' move to the Inglewood site outside of LA. Chargers have the option to move there as well.

Raiders stay in Oakland, for now.

Chargers will supposedly wait for outcome of forthcoming stadium bid from SD before deciding.

Hope that prick Kroenke loses everything over this.

So glad our team doesn't have to put up with this sort of ****.

Los Angeles Rams are back.

I'm not so certain they will go with that archaic name/mascot anymore.

My sister's boyfriends aunt said she had heard they will be called the Inglewood Ewes.

Of course, I might've heard it wrong.

@AlbertBreer: Roger Goodell says the Chargers have one year to make a decision on LA. If they decline the option, Raiders will have one year to go to LA.

What a clusterf**k. 

@RamsHerd: Sources: Stan Kroenke also proposing changes to the Rams' iconic helmet to better reflect his values.

@fangbites: .@judybattista says Inglewood attracts the NFL owners because it will have a theater to hold NFL Draft plus the chance to host a Final Four.

All those glory hounds chasing after red carpet time. Coke and hookers, indeed.

Just eyeing it.

I am guessing 2.99 Billion.

 

Looks like I will get to see the Packers at site of Super Bowl I - LA Memorial Coliseum in 2018 and maybe in 2019 at Rams (& Chargers?) new stadium.              I predict LA  hosts Super Bowl 55 in 2021.

			PACKERS			2018			2019
						HOME	AWAY		HOME	AWAY
						Arizona	St. Louis		Philadelphia	Dallas
						San Fran	Seattle		Washington	NY Giants
						Buffalo	New England		Denver	Kansas City
						Miami	NY Jets		Oakland	San Diego
						NFC South	NFC East		NFC South	NFC West

I feel bad for the fans in St. Lou. NFLFU strikes again.

Georgia and St Louis ****ed LA over hard in 94. So my heart isn't bleeding for the good folks of Missouri. What goes around. 

Apparently Mark Davis (OAK) bought some land between Austin and San Antonio in the past few years. Some think it was just a leverage ploy, some think it was just investment, some think he may really want to move to Texas. Wonder what Jones and McNair would think about this.

That would be a shame, because then he'd be forced to depend on his wife for sustenance.  

He's got a family to feed!

I guess now that any team that does not get their way in building a new stadium will threaten to move to St Louis

Jacksonville is probably already making plans. 

Given it's location in LA, there will be plenty of joints to go around.

Grew up in Stl. The town is a baseball town, with hockey doing well. With other teams, they are fair weather fans, although hockey may have changed a little. There is a reason there is not an NBA team there and it is not because of the SLU Billikens. Based upon what my dad has been telling me over the years, they dragged their feet with court cases and arbitration about updating their stadium for many years. Yes, it is unfortunate that the name of the game is give me a state of the art stadium or I leave, but it is the cost of having a team. I imagine that the way the NFL voted was to screw the Raiders, and give SD a chance to build a stadium in the meantime. Metro areas SD 3.3m STL 2.8m San Antonio 2.3m Jax 1.5m Having 2 teams in LA based upon their history seems kind of a waste in the revenue producing area, and metro areas with over 2m should be able to support a team.

@makarov_: so Kroenke essentially got exclusive right to LA market for forseeable future, and SD / OAK each got $100M?

@andrewbrandt: Bingo.

Of course they will. It's called leverage. 

I've said this a few times in other forums, but it's insane that the Chargers/Raiders were even contemplating sharing a stadium.  In order for that to work, realignment would need to happen, talk about a cluster****.....

The prudent move is that SD/Rams share LA.  Oakland swallows their pride (never happen), and the NFL forces a negotiation that OAK/SF share Blue Jean park.  Why would OAK get a new stadium, when that area just built a 1B stadium.  Then you would have 6 teams sharing 3 stadiums, makes sense. 

I was with you until the last two words.

Somehow, this makes sense.

Oakland Raiders now filed a trademark application for Las Vegas Raiders.... https://t.co/ZIsGkArem0

I knew I should've filed for the patent already.

DAMN IT! 

Raiders & Chargers getting together for joint practice?  Which team is bringing the "joints"?  Does Goodell know about this?  Is it allowed within the CBA? 

While they are in their "alternate reality" I suggest they throw the ball around a little - just to make it legal.  OTOH, it explains why both team think they are going to do well this year - and might even help explain the Bosa negotiations - Bosa refuses to do joints. 

I know the Raiders are talking with LV, but if the Raiders, the Chargers, and the Rams were all in LA, LA would increase it's chances to have a SB winning team.  But if LA really wants a SB winning team anytime soon - they have the wrong teams in their city.
