Wonder which team will move? I say Jacksonville. Hope they leave Buffalo alone.
L.A. City Council Approves Financing Plan For Downtown NFL Stadium - SBNation.com
Getting football back to Los Angeles took another big step on Tuesday when the Los Angeles City Council approved a financing deal to get a new stadium downtown. Per multiple reports, the city council voted 12-0 in favor of the downtown stadium so, at least among those 12 city council members, there's support for this.
It's not the last step to getting football back in Los Angeles. You need...a team. Indeed, there is no clear plan on how the NFL would bring football back, and which team would be the one moving there. There are some candidates that are more likely than others but we're not really sure where each team stands on that list, though.
The stadium is five years down the line but Tuesday's vote helps keep the project on track. AEG has a location (downtown L.A), they've got the naming rights to the stadium (Farmers Field) and they've got the financing approved, the next step if actually building the stadium and finding a team to play there. That last part is what has some NFL fan bases nervous. There is some competition in this regard as a group backing a stadium in the City of Industry says it has a viable plan as well.
I think will. The question will be, WHO will be playing there. Will it be the LA Raiders or the LA Chargers? What I am curious about is isn't the state of California like seriously broke?
If the Bills go anywhere, it'll be Toronto.
Yes, Cali is broke, but I'm guessing they're thinking a new team will bring in more revenue.
The four teams I keep hearing that are on the chopping block are: The Jags, the Bills, the Chargers and the Vikings.
take the jags and bills out of that list. there's an explanation on espn why it won't be those teams. i'd put my money on the chargers. this la experiment will fail again. i don't know why the nfl keeps trying to make a team in la work. i like where the raiders are. oakland raiders sounds right to me.Yes, Cali is broke, but I'm guessing they're thinking a new team will bring in more revenue.

IF anything, I think the Bills move to Toronto. The Jags are a possibility. I didn't know the Vikings were an issue too. And like I said, Al Davis is trying to get a new stadium in Oakland and there has even been talk about sharing it with the 49ers(like the Jets and the Giants do).
The Vikings are an issue because the NFL has been pushing them into building a new stadium, but the owner/tax payers don't want to.

I guess that means the one they were planning on building a couple of miles from my house is no more.
Yep. About 6 miles from my house by road and about 3 to 4 miles as a crow flies. Traffic would be hell, and it will not be near LA, but it would be closer to the IE and OC, and it would have a much better view. Playing football and viewing the snow covered San Gabriel Mountains along with the rolling green Walnut and Oak covered hillsIs that the one in Industry?
From what I've heard,the ONLY sports team that Toronto will support is the Toronto Maple Leafs(even the Blue jays & Raptors are struggling for support). Toronto doesn't support the Argos,& I don't think they'd support the Bills either. Putting an NFL team in Toronto is like putting an NHL team in Atlanta.
