Some Lines Of Communication Reopen Between City, Chargers

They won’t, however, be looking for a new NFL franchise: Mayor Francis Slay told reporters Wednesday that the city is turning its back on the league, once and for all.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said he expects Chargers chairman Dean Spanos to “make a relatively quick decision knowing that he’s got to make some decisions coming up for the 2016 season”. “They want a new stadium, they want to make lots of money with the new stadium and in the LA market they will be able to get everything that the owners want in that department”. “We’re ready to go as soon as we can get a ballot measure in the works”, Goldsmith said.

Many member of the Cerritos College community feel like this is a big change for Los Angeles. “The players, the fans who’ve waited so long for the Rams to come back”. In July, according to the Los Angeles Times, USC said it would welcome an National Football League team to share the Coliseum for the 2016 season.

Under the terms of the Inglewood deal, the Raiders have the option of moving there should Spanos decide to stay in San Diego.

Kroenke successfully negotiated his way to Los Angeles, leaving San Diego to decide its future and Oakland out of luck this time. San Diego deserves better.

“St. Louis stepped up, in good faith”, she said Wednesday, citing plans to spend $400 million in local and state tax dollars toward a $1.1 billion St. Louis riverfront stadium. The city is hoping to hold a vote in June. The NFL also will provide $100 million grants to both the Chargers and Raiders for stadium projects in their current markets.

The suit was filed by James Pudlowski, Louis Cross III, Gain Henry and Steve Henry, and was the first lawsuit stemming from the Rams’ departure. The team’s refusal to restart talks prevented what could have been a citywide vote on the proposal this month. “I will be working over the next several weeks to explore the options that we have now created for ourselves to determine the best path forward for the Chargers”.

Kroenke, a land developer with the second highest net worth among the NFL’s 32 owners, is considered an astute businessman who could bring a winning product to California. That’s a far cry from the estimated cost of a new stadium, which could cost up to $1 billion.

“At this point I’m so frustrated and disappointed with the NFL”, Slay said.

Rams season tickets for 2016 aren’t yet on sale.

A few fans in Rams gear walked through the downtown LA Live entertainment complex in festive moods. “The roof over the stadium would allow the NFL to move events such as the Pro Bowl, NFL Combine and other annual events to the NFL campus as well”. Wouldn’t a return to the smash mouth L.A. Raiders of the eighties and nineties spark the franchise? Spanos and Raiders owner Mark Davis had applied to move to nearby Carson, California, where they proposed building their own state-of-the-art facility. “I don’t know where we’ll be”, he quipped.

“But we’ll see where the Raider Nation ends up here”.
