IMO, The Raiders and Chargers will be the teams that relocate to L.A. . St Louis is a better sports City than they are given credit for. Both locations will need to build new Stadiums. St Louis may experience the most problems getting a new stadium, as the big money backers are fewer there than in L.A. .

What do you think about this ?

If they would build a stadium north of the Pendleton area or inland more around say Temecula they could service both southern LA and San Diego with the Chargers. Also build a stadium on the North side out towards Simi Valley for the Raiders.

How many teams will have to move in and out of L.A. Before they realize it just doesn't seem to work there?
LA RAMS, LA RAIDERS and so on?

Not sure if it would work for the Raiders. But putting the Chargers between LA and San Diego is ideal. Chargers need a new stadium, and also could use a boost to the fan base since much of the San Diego residents are transplants and fans of other NFL teams. They could move and still be within 50 miles of the current stadium and pull in the LA crowd

I hope the Chargers change their name to Southern California Chargers. It's not as if they won't own the San Diego market, either.

As someone who grew up in St. Louis, I'm gutted for my friends, many of whom have gone year in and year out to watch largely shit football. Gutted that they have to go through what my father did with the Braves in the 60s. Kroenke is a twunt of the highest order. I hope football fails miserably in Los Angeles.

Curiously, the Rams got 30-2 approval while they were the only one of the three who got anything resembling an offer from their city to fund a new stadium. Kronke clearly just wanted the hell out of St. Louis.

The problem for both the Chargers and Raiders is that California has no friggin money to help them even if they wanted to, and let's face it....the NFL has billions, they can help their own fund a stadium instead of strongarming the taxpayers to do it.

The latest is that the Chargers wat to work with the Rams on a shared stadium, and the Raiders are screwed. From the sound of it, the NFL is trying to pony up dough to keep San Diego in San Diego, but there seems to be no real plan for the Raiders at all.

Once again, the Rams are the NFL's LA franchise.

While I would console ST.Louis and their fans, they have had years to avoid this change. It is not a problem just for cities like ST.Louis though. Many places struggle to build stadiums for Baseball Teams(major and minor leagues), Universities, and Community improvements. Money is the problem 99% of the time. Public budgets are very tight, as a result financing is most difficult.

The Billionaire NFL Team owners in most cases will be ever more need to be the resource for their own facilities. Existing Stadiums and Facilities may need to repair and renovate. Is'nt that what the Packers do ?

Leave it to the NFL and LA to go with the option that makes the least amount of sense. Got a feeling they will fill the stands for a few years but unless they start winning that will fizzle out. They won't really be team fans so they won't have the drive to show up when the team isn't winning.
