National Football League in Los Angeles
Until then, we will continue to keep you updated on the status of your Bolts.
The team would normally have to pay a $550 million relocation fee to move out of Oakland. Some of the Raider Nation followed him to Los Angeles three decades ago, but flights to Missouri and Texas for games would be impractical for all but the richest followers. From the first moment we arrived in “the Lou”, people welcomed us with open arms. The same goes for the Raiders in Oakland. In the off-season, Hoerner worked as an usher at the Hollywood Park Racetrack, the site of the Rams’ new stadium. Faulconer said he has reached out to Spanos to meet sometime soon, but he hasn’t heard from the Chargers owner following the owners’ decision handed down Tuesday. They are not optimistic, however, that a ballot initiative calling for public funding for a portion of a new stadium would pass.
“I think it’s a good move for them”, Pankey said of the Rams’ return.
“At some point, there’s a go/no-go date”, he said. St. Louis, San Diego, San Antonio or perhaps sharing Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif. with the San Francisco 49ers are possible future homes for the Raiders, as well as Oakland. They should be furious that an extra $100 million in NFL funding that the league wouldn’t dedicate to their city’s project (which already had $200 million from the NFL) has been offered as a consolation prize to the Oakland Raiders (and, potentially, to the Chargers). Not only does this mean the Chargers saga in San Diego isn’t over, but that a stadium vote that San Diego declined in September may get another push for November. “I sincerely believe that we can create both success for the Chargers’ organization and the San Diego region if we have a honest commitment to work together, the city and Mr. Spanos”. The Chargers, for their part, would get to play in a better venue in a bigger market.
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.
For team owners, professional sports is all about making money.
The Inglewood stadium is “to be constructed on a basis that permits two National Football League teams to operate on an equal basis with respect to scheduling, access to facilities, and agreed-upon and approved financial terms generally consistent with the options presented to the member clubs on January 12”, the resolution states.
“If that’s done”, he said, “all of the people in that class would be added to the lawsuit”.
Owners rejected a plan by the Chargers and Raiders to relocate to a new $1.75 billion stadium in Carson. “Not only do we have a business relationship regarding the training facility at Redwood Middle School, but the Raiders have consistently contributed to our community in many other ways”. It would also relieve the Raiders of having to plan and finance their own stadium.
But the elder Davis died in 2011, and the younger Davis said he is not interested in Levi’s. After another negotiating session in the afternoon, Kroenke’s $1.8 billion project prevailed. We’ll get it right.’ Ray Perez a 28-year-old Raiders fan from northern California who traveled to the Houston meeting was cautiously optimistic after hearing the news.
“Clearly we have a world-class field situation”, he said.
