are CA taxes included? That may be a lot of the costs, and if not, makes these even more crazy.

Seat license rights is the single biggest grift upon loyal fans in the history of sports.

Since you're talking about PSL's and new stadiums, I was a season ticket holder for the Ravens first two seasons 1996 - '97. Those games were played at old Memorial Stadium, which has since been torn down. It held 62,000 for football, it had been the home for the Baltimore Colts and Orioles, the O's moved to Camden Yards in '92.
My endzone seats were actually centerfield and were $250 for ten games. When they moved into the new stadium, which opened in 1998 the Ravens third year, my seats went to $350 for ten games, and I had two seats so that was $700 and a PSL for each seat was $1,000. So I needed $2700 to keep my two seats in the new stadium the first year, so I gave them up. The PSL's are transferable and you can resell for whatever price you can get or leave them to someone in your will. I left Baltimore in 2011, so I don't what it is like now, but they did have a waiting list for seats. The stadium holds just about 71,000 and the Ravens sold all the seats but kept about 8,000 for individual ticket sales during the year. The best seats at the 50 yard line were normally $350 and the PSL originally was $3,000. I don't what what they are reselling for at this time. One thing that I always thought was neat, was Camden Yards baseball stadium is about a 1/2 mile north and they share the same parking lot. Also the light rail, which runs from 20 miles north to BWI Airport about 10 miles south has a station at the stadium. That's Camden Yards in the upper right and M & T Bank Stadium (Ravens) at the bottom. I-395 runs in between, it's a spur that comes from I-95 that is about two miles south. I-95 goes from Maine to Miami and comes right through Baltimore and Washington. |

Hollywood Park is my local poker room. Hopefully some of these drunk whales wander over after the game.

The cHargers SSL's are cheap compared to the RAMS. Maybe they didn't get enough SSL's SOLD to meet their goal? cHargers season tickets prices are WAY LESS than the RAMS.

Nobody cares about the Chargers. I've met like 10 Chargers fans in LA - ever.

Worst move by a franchise in history. Did it just so the RAIDERS wouldn't get back to Los Angeles.

The RAIDERS have a HUGE fan base here in Los Angeles. This would have made sense. The RAMS and RAIDERS sharing the same stadium is the most profitable option. The league blew it. The Los Angeles cHargers are like the Los Angeles Buccaneers of 1926! The Los Angeles Buccaneers never played a home game in los Angeles. When you watch a cHarger game played in Carson, CA it's like the cHargers are not at home! The visiting teams fans are the majority for all their games. SPANOS and Family and the NFL have a team without a fanbase in 2020!

What happened to the st Louis fans lawsuit? Didn't some of these people have a contract with the seats to Rams games already?

I believe it is still in the discovery phase. The firm representing the city of Saint Louis and several others plus some fans is still pending. The City of Saint Louis is still paying on the Dome that was built to lure the RAMS to St. Louis.

I don't think the merchandise one is going anywhere. The PSL suit was settled. The City suit could be interesting, based on comment made publicly before & after the move, the team basically admits to lying to the fans. The best example is team president Kevin Demoff told fans at a function that the LA site wasn't even good for a stadium. Then after the team moved he does an interview in LA & basically says that a couple years prior to him claiming the site wasn't good that he got a call from Kroenke excited about the site for a stadium.
