The LA situation

[Brees#1]

So which two teams are likely going to LA and where is the one left out going? It seems like they are all three leaving their stadiums and the one that probably has the best chance to land one of the LA teams is rams.

I am hoping SA takes one of them that way that whole fear/rumor of saints going there when Benson dies can go to rest.

Folks have been talking about LA for years. I think we get the answer soon.

The Chargers are as good as gone so I'd say the Chargers and the Rams.

Chargers still leaving unless they have to stay

But it's happening next year.

Who would LA want between the chargers and raiders? With the way the raiders are playing I wonder if this will put them ahead of SD. Rams are no doubt getting one of them. And LA is probably foaming at the mouth for Gurley and that rams defense.

Where will these hypothetical teams play until the stadium is complete?

They can all bunk together in Santa Clara.

I hear there's a decent sized stadium in Pasadena...

Look at my avi for the answer.

The Coliseum are making improvments now for this reason and to have a chance to host the olympics.

last rumor i heard was rams are a lock for alone or with another team and chargers lead raiders as the second team. but i also heard jax may take the rams place in st louis. also i was taking with some jet mucky mucks at the last game and they say all three teams have come to check out the operations at metlife to better understand the inner workings of a two team one stadium deal.....

Nope. They voted against being a temporary home for an NFL team. It won't be the Rose Bowl.

If history serves, The Raiders and the Rams went to LA for a bit at different times and it did not work. Why is it the prevailing thought that they need two teams now?

That's the last thing I heard too. It would be pretty unfortunate for St. Louis if that happened.

For now, I'd say the best bet is for the league to delay a decision for another year. 2nd best bet is for the Rams, and only the Rams, to relocate in 2016. No chance 2 teams go to LA the same year.

There's one subject you don't hear about in the media that I'm sure is a hot topic amongst the NFL owners: 2 teams left LA for a reason. Why does everyone think 2 teams would work there now?

And here is the latest crazy talk I've heard, but the guy that wrote the article claims to have good sources: NFL owners believe abandoning the 8th largest city is madness, and there's a possibility the Rams and Chargers go to LA, and the city of San Diego builds a stadium for the Raiders. God I hope that doesn't happen.

If San Diego had the ability to build a stadium, they already would have done it. It's over for SD and Oakland already IMO. They had their chances but they couldn't get anything done.

STL just a month or so ago presented the NFL with a new plan for a stadium. They'll probably have to tweak some of it under the threat of the Ram's moving out but they are getting closer.

This offseason the Chargers and the Raiders will pack up the moving trucks and head to Carson.

The Ram's moving to LA while San Diego and Oakland stayed in their current locations was never a real option. There is simply too much fan support given to Oakland and San Diego from the LA market that they would eventually lose to the Ram's to make all 3 teams in CA a real option.

 

[tabascojet]

They all were in california for years before so your argument that St Louis won't go back because it would take away from chargers and raiders is weak. Would spanos every want to sell? I could see a team swap maybe with kroeneke getting a team in LA and rams stay in st Louis with new ownership.

My guess if I was an unbiased fan is Chargers and Raiders in LA and the Rams moving to London is a couple of years. Obviously that sounds awful but thats where the money seems to point.
