Raiders and Chargers propose Shared Stadium Plan in Carson

[Fountain City Blues]

Well, well, well. The Rams have competition it looks like.

I hope the Rams end up back home in a bad way.

Seems a bit strange that one city would house two divisional foes. All of the sudden this might have just a bit more teeth than what was thought a few months ago. Not much though, I have a hard time believing there wouldn't be some resistance to shaking up the alignment, however.

Part of the relocation agreement in 1995 was that the Rams forfeited their right to remain in the NFC if the league needs to realign in order to put an NFC team in Los Angeles.

Interesting... Would assume Seattle would move before the Rams to the AFC, but interesting nonetheless.

Well, I'd imagine this makes the Raiders/Chargers the front runners. Surely LA would rather have 2 teams than 1.

 

[SonnyCID]

Interesting design for that concept, most seats on one side. Make for a great music venue.

well, as a Chiefs fan it'd make the drive to see 'em closer to home once(well ok, twice) a season...

I was scrolling fast through the threads, and the thread title looked like

Raiders and Chargers propose Shared Stadium Plan in Prison

So I did a double-take and scrolled back.

Makes no sense to have two division foes sharing a stadium.

This looks kind of desperate to me with the Rams making the only serious move towards LA.

 

[Lakers+USC=#1]

I really hope they don't mess with history and put the Raiders in the NFC. Please don't do it!

 

[Lakers+USC=#1]

I don't see what's the problem of having 2 teams, in the same division, playing in the same city.

 

[broncosmitty]

Whatever firm it is that makes up these mockup stadiums sure must maka lotta money.


I don't see this happening.

 

[Logicallylethal]

I like the design. It looks like a World Cup venue.

How about the Spanos clan and the San Diego Chargers stop whining and pony up their own money to build themselves a new stadium.

Why are cities funding these places for billion dollar companies with tax payer money?

 

[LionsWhyMe]

I really hope they don't mess with history and put the Raiders in the NFC. Please don't do it!

I'd rather have the Bolts in the NFC West and say goodbye to the 49ers to the AFC West.

 

[redseat]

In this day and age no teams should share a stadium

 

[RaidaDave]

I really don't like this idea. The Raiders belong in Oakland. I think this is all about leverage to get the deals done in the current cities. I think that the Raiders are more likely to get a deal than the Chargers. But I could be wrong.

 

[Broncosr0k]

I don't see what's the problem of having 2 teams, in the same division, playing in the same city.

Since it would be division rivals there would probably be an increase in the number of violent incidents.

The bigger issue would be that the team doing well will get and extra home game. If one fanbase is more able and willing to buy tickets the crowd can get stacked against what is slated as a home team.

They would have to move one to the NFC no matter what if this happened. I'm pretty sure San Diego would be the one to go to the NFC and either Seattle comes back to the AFC West or St. Louis decides to join us (which honestly would make me laugh a bit that the AFC West would only have one team that actually was West of the Rockies yet call themselves the West).
