The Cali guys would know better than me but IIRC Spanos was a **** on a lot of levels and it’s hard for taxpayers to sign onto that shit when they’re not going to get anything back, the owner is a **** and was going to keep the money anyway.

Los Angeles could get away with charging for seats just to have the right to buy season tickets. It cost $7,500 per seat (one time fee) with season tickets at $150 per game. Club Seats range from $15,000 to $80,000 per seat and accompanying season tickets are $375 per game. There was no way that Charger Fans in San Diego were going to shell out that kind of money. Crazy.

Oh damn, I didn’t know they were going to tear down Jack Murphy, thought it was still being used by a college team or something.

San Antonio wouldn’t be in contention?

Over Jerry Jones dead body and even then..

Salt Lake would be interesting. The Mormons seem to love BYU, why not a pro team?

They are lucky to still have the Jazz. It's an alcohol thing, and gambling. It's also a very small, isolated market.

True. Maybe I'm just looking at "new" places for an NFL team that seem like decent destination locations.

For selfish reasons, I sure wish St Louis could pull them in... it'd be SO easy for me to see the Chiefs twice a year

I don't hate them as much as the Raiders and Denver, but playing them twice a year breeds natural contempt.

And when they have players such as Phyllis associated with their franchise for 15+ years it enhances the hate factor.

He’s not getting any younger and I don’t think he has the clout that he used to when $$$ is at stake for the league and the other owners.

But maybe you’re right.

Portland is out, only about 2 and a half hours from Seattle.
San Antonio same reason. Too close to Houston & Dallas.

Oakland.
St Louis.
San Diego.
Orlando.
Hampton Roads, VA.

There's no way Oakland or San Diego get an NFL team again because their cities and voters do not want to shell out $2 billion for a stadium.

I'd be very surprised to see an NFL team in St. Louis again and really the only way to even get interest is to build a palace for an NFL team in advance, something that seems very unlikely.

I don't know much about the city of Orlando but with Jacksonville's continuing and never-ending struggles, I doubt Orlando would be a viable option for any team.

Oklahoma City perhaps.

Great movie
