Reed83HOF Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 Ian Rapoport @RapSheet 1m1 minute ago The #Chargers have filed their relocation application to Los Angeles. "We are sad to have reached this point."
Augie Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 That sucks for them. Seriously! I feel the pain. But better them than us!
PromoTheRobot Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 waah, we're not getting enough corporate welfare You're going to tell me that San Diego doesn't have more sports dollars than Buffalo? If Terry Pegula can build his own barn, the Spanos' can too.

Jason Cole @JasonColeBR 2m2 minutes ago NFL announces #Chargers #Raiders & #Rams all file for relocation to LA: Could all 3 of them end up in Los Angeles or Anaheim?
Reed83HOF Posted January 5, 2016 Author Posted January 5, 2016 Could all 3 of them end up in Los Angeles or Anaheim? I live in LA, sports radio on the way home tonight said bank on Rams playing in the Rose Bowl in 2016...Done deal.
TheFunPolice Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 Kronke is moving the Rams no matter what the NFL says imo

Mark Vader Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 I live in LA, sports radio on the way home tonight said bank on Rams playing in the Rose Bowl in 2016...Done deal. Wow. So would that put the Chargers and/or Raiders at the Los Angeles Coliseum?
Reed83HOF Posted January 5, 2016 Author Posted January 5, 2016 (edited) Wow. So would that put the Chargers and/or Raiders at the Los Angeles Coliseum? LOL I drive by it on my way to work every day...it really is a dump...There is a sense that Chargers and Rams end up here. Chance that if San Diego gets their act together the Raiders could move there... That would be line the Bills moving to Toronto and the Phins or Cheats**** move to Buffalo... It would be surprising but who knows even Jax could move elsewhere. I'm sure St. Louis will end up with a team at some point too. This could cause a lot of movement in the league. (EDIT: jw is trolling this on twitter) LOL All 3 will not end up here, you get 2 and the "loser" will go to SD or St. Louis IMO. The city that doesn't get the 3rd team will be trying like hell to get another. It could be Jax if Ten goes up for sale - who knows...IMO of course Edited January 5, 2016 by Reed83HOF
sodbuster Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 I smell a sitcom!Its like the three stooges trying to all fit through one door at the same time.
purple haze Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 (edited) Could all 3 of them end up in Los Angeles or Anaheim? I doubt they let 3 go. Would over saturate the market. Two teams will be hard enough if one of them is the Chargers. Rams and Raiders? Will work fine so long as they win. Raiders will work regardless if they win or not.

The difference is the surroundings, but both locations are way outdated. SC is supposed to be renovating the Coliseum at some point though. If it's the Rams though, the Bills will be in town in '16. Cali taxpayers will not pay for any stadiums. That's why the NFL won't have any choice but to let Kroenke go and try to convince him to take in one of the other teams. He's the only one without a plan that includes public money. Edited January 5, 2016 by purple haze

They also play @Raiders this year.

purple haze Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 (edited) Hey it works for me LOL I'd be shocked to see them in LA That's the irony. The Raiders fandom is DEEP out here, but higher ups don't seem to want them back because of the "element" they attract. Edited January 5, 2016 by purple haze
VanCity Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 If it's the Rams and Raiders, I get three West Coast games next season! Short term thinking , I know....but I love me some closer games.

major Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 The Dolphins should relocate too. Their stadium is almost always empty. When we play there it's like a home game for us
