Mr. WEO Posted December 27, 2015 Posted December 27, 2015 He could always pull an Al Davis and take the league to court as he moves his team anyway. He already has the land, political approval and finances (without public money being involved). And the Raiders/Chargers Carson project, if it requires public money, which I believe it does, will probably not happen. California providing public money for stadiums is fairly unlikely, even though many stadiums in California need to be either demolished or majorly refurbished: L.A. Coliseum, Qualcomm, Oakland Coliseum, Oracle Arena and the Rose Bowl come to mind. I don't think the NFL wants the precedent of Kroenke paying for his own stadium. Most owners won't want to do that if they move. And if Kroenke does it will be a reference point for other cities not feeling like its necessary to help an owner/NFL to do it. This is already a well established precedent.
