Teams that could possibly move are:
Chargers
Jaguars
Raiders
Rams
Or even the Vikings

This stadium will literally be 5 miles from my house. I can ride my bicycle to the game.

It is actually less than 3 miles as a crow flies. Slightly less than 5 miles driving. The closest fast food to my house is in Walnut...Chick-Fil-A, In-N-Out, L&L, Quiznos, Flame Broiler, Rubios, McDonalds is near the very intersection, Grand and Valley, of the proposed stadium.

The other neat thing. There is already a MetoLink station there. So people can commute by Metrolink from LA or the IE and be dropped off directly near the stadium.

Like the 57 freeway isn't a parking lot already, and the merger with the 60 freeway is horrible.

Please take the Jags.

Shouldn't take you more than 2-3 hours to get there...

I echo the money thing. Unbelievable!!!

Well if this really opens up as planned.. this is my distance from Home to Stadium ..

Here is my relation to it.

Los Angeles maybe a big television market, but have failed to keep two teams there because of fair weather fans. I can see the Vikes moving there. The State has already coughed up cash for the New Target Field(Twins) and TCF Bank Stadium(U of Minnnesota). The state is too liberal and insist on way to much welfare and education. I don't see another stadium anytime soon unless they can convince them to do a seat licensing.

In the end if the Vikes don't go the Jags are more likely.

Chargers fans are all fair weather fans, San Diego has managed to keep their team so far.

Al Davis could live another 20 years, I think that probably rules the Raiders out.

Really think they should move a California team there though, really don't need a state split into 4 teams, even one as large as California.

Again....doesn't the state have a HUGE money issue??!! THIS is the last thing the state budget needs!

 

[meStevo]

I don't see anything in the article that says how much if anything the state is paying for this.
