Fans sue Rams, alleging false statements prior to LA move
If the Chargers haven’t made a relocation decision by January 16, 2017, then the Raiders will have the option to join the Rams in L.A. “It’s bittersweet, too, because we were unable to get the facilities that we’d hoped for in their markets. It’s more than just a stadium, it’s an entertainment complex”. “But when the Rams fell off, the support fell off and the money kind of dries up and unfortunately the team is going away now”.
Granted, Spanos is still upset he and Kroenke could never close a joint deal in Los Angeles when the two broached the idea two years ago.
On the other hand another team offers 10-more Sundays at the stadium, and if Spanos stays home Kroenke still has the Raiders option in his back pocket.
When the Rams play their first game in Los Angeles next fall, Danny Gonzales of Oxnard plans to be there. The office voice message said that the Rams are relocating to Los Angeles and advised season-ticket holders to leave a message if they had any questions concerning their tickets or personal seat licenses. “While we are excited about the prospect of building a new stadium in Inglewood, California, this is bitter sweet”.
St. Louis officials have been quick to note that the city is searching for new tenants for year-round use and would review how much the loss will affect the area’s finances.
The Rams have a year-to-year lease in St. Louis. In this specific case, St. Louis is losing a team. The city will be unlikely to abandon that position unless they get a better sense of commitment to stay from the Chargers.
“And I wouldn’t take a second National Football League team into Hollywood Park”, Al Davis said in the interview. We still need to clarify once and for all that this executive overreach can’t happen.
The only certainty in this week’s news is that after telling San Diego they’re leaving for 14 years, the Chargers are still here. We’ll see where Raider Nation ends up here. We’ll be working really hard to find us a home and that’s what we’re looking forward to.
Rather than waiting for next season’s release of the game, players can take advantage of the “Franchise relocation feature” of Madden 16 to make the move immediately. That’s a far cry from the estimated cost of a new stadium, which could cost up to $1 billion.
The Raiders were already in the only remaining two-sport stadium in the NFL, but now with the Chargers getting their choice of a new stadium either in San Diego or Inglewood, the Raiders will have the most embarrassing stadium situation in the league. However, that recommendation did not appear to sway the owners.
Fabiani said Spanos was studying his options, which include moving to Inglewood to share a future stadium with the Rams, or pursuing a stadium project in San Diego. “Chargers vetting it now and barring anything unforeseen, plan on going to LA”.
“There’s momentum and commitment”, said Disney CEO Bob Iger, who is part of the Carson proposal and was involved in the presentation.
