Los Angeles stadium could bring shift in NFL divisions

I suppose the stadium builders know where the big bucks are made and are catering towards that audience, but it’s unfortunate that the general fan experience appears to be taking a backseat if indeed this stadium does get built and these teams move to Los Angeles.

NFL executives discussed several aspects of a potential relocation, including the possibility of a relocation fee, use of temporary facilities during stadium construction and the sale of refundable seat deposits.

The stadium is 15 miles from West Los Angeles, 10 from Orange County and 12 from downtown. A dominant feature is now an oversized, gleaming Vince Lombardi Trophy, the prize that goes to Super Bowl winners. Bubka has said the antidoping system is too complex and “needs to be simplified to become faster and more efficient”.

Some San Antonio leaders, including the mayor, appear OK with the Oakland Raiders playing in the Alamodome for a couple of seasons, should the team need a temporary home until it can move to the Los Angeles area.

The San Diego Chargers and the Oakland Raiders are willing to switch divisions if they relocate to Los Angeles in the near future, the point man on the teams’ joint stadium project in Carson, California said Monday.

“There are some very interesting scenarios, depending on how all this turns out”, Policy added.

The teams have proposed a shared $1.78 billion stadium in the city of Carson – one of two stadium projects being considered by the NFL near Los Angeles that could bring professional football back to the region after a two-decade absence. The Inglewood project is still up in the air with who is going to house that stadium. Initial reports from the media show that owners seems to be skepticism and doubt that Carson is the best option for the NFL, with Stan Kroenke’s plan still being the front-runner. “You measure your trips by drive-time, and easy-on, easy-off freeway exits. This is critical to our motorists and critical to our fans”.

Tailgating will be welcomed and encouraged, with a farmers market-style food court.

“It’s all about getting there and getting out, so ingress and egress is critical”, Romer said. The bottom line is the lower debt levels and higher revenues provide tremendous financial certainty.
