Thread: LA City Council Approves Plans to Build New Football Stadium

The Raiders MAY be in the picture now, they've been going around and around with Oakland for a while, and they aren't going to put up the cash, either. Al Davis was vehemently opposed to returning to L.A. after they ****ed him the first time. He's gone now and his son Mark doesn't have the same ties to the city of Oakland... in fact, growing up, he had some of his best years in L.A. hanging out with Howie and Marcus and etc. They've already said that they NEED a new stadium and have even talked with Dublin (a small city south of Oakland) about their land.

I can also see the Rams moving back... for the same reason.

Weird how all 3 of the teams I mentioned were in L.A. already at one point or another (Chargers played their 1st season in the Coliseum)

Welcome to the board Fly Good to see you here, and a topic we have plenty of experience discussing elsewhere

I agree that the choices boil down to the three teams mentioned above... it's essentially already been confirmed by Roger Goodell as he has said he is opposed to messing with the current structure of the divisions in the NFL. Moving the Rams, Raiders and/or Chargers keeps all those teams in their respective Western Divisions.

I had no idea you were here too...
