Football Los Angeles City Council approves NFL Stadium - Page 11

**CrazyPhuD** · 07-25-2013, 01:00 AM

Hell if they wanted to they could just build the stadium and get a Liga MX team in there. Why wait for the NFL it's come in it's own time...

I haven't really read the thread and for that I apologize but I've heard Davis prefers to stay in Oakland but with the town in debt the taxpayers won't be able to afford it? Also, if they were to be able to build one it would be the smallest in the league at like 56,000 max capacity, which is the equivalent to a billionaire buying a KIA and showing it off like it's a Lamborghini. A move that could be made is the Raiders could share the new stadium with SF but both clubs aren't too fond of that. I've heard the three finalists are likely the Chargers, Raiders and Jags? Also, the Raider situation sounds terrible. Where the hell will they end up? Sorry I'm lazy right now lol. Love you Dane

The Warriors and A's are leaving too?

Mojo Rising · 07-25-2013, 01:56 AM

The Warriors are moving to SF. A's want to move to SJ so they can sell Suites to Cisco Intel, etc. MLB granted to the SJ market to the Giants (who have less WS wins than the Dodgers since moving to Cali) when they were about to be moved to TB in the 80's.

Again. It is about leverage. Atlanta, St Louis, SD, Oakland all need to build new stadiums.

**** it, I don't want a team anyways

AEG founder Phil Anschutz is talking to Mark Davis about buying the Raiders. If he is successful, he'll move the team to LA. But he's lowballing Davis who don't wanna sell.

GloucesterChief · 07-25-2013, 09:46 AM

So, LA is looking to get what will be the 4th team that will eventually move away from LA?

Aries Walker · 07-25-2013, 09:53 AM

Well, sort of the third, sort of the fourth, depending on how you count. They'll be the Grover Cleveland of city abandonments.

Anschutz owning the Raiders would be the best thing to ever happen to that franchise.

That rumor is more than a year old and Mark Davis said he's not interested in selling.

I'll see what I can dig up this weekend because I'm having dinner with said AEG employee Saturday night. He may or may not be forthcoming about any new info but if there's anything I can share, I will.

What do you think happens to the Raiders, Dane?

I have no idea. They want a new $800 million dollar facility in Oakland but the city doesn't have that kind of money. The Oakland Coliseum is a complete dump. There was talk of the 49ers sharing their new stadium with the Raiders but that's died down recently.

The A's have been trying to move to San Jose for years. That city is building a state of the art baseball stadium for them but either the Giants have to rescind their rights to SJ, or 23 of the 30 owners must approve the move.

All I know is that Oakland is no longer capable of supporting a major league franchise of any kind. That city is a mess.

Even if they move to LA, I will still hate the Raiders.
