Well, to be fair, they were playing at the Mausoleum."It's a huge market! We can't ignore the potential for ratings like that" Bullshit. When the Rams and Raiders were there we didn't get to see many games because they were hardly ever sold out and subject to NFL blackout rules.
This is true but you forget that the Lambs played at Anaheim Stadium for while and were blacked out there as well before they bolted for St. Louie. I remember my dad and I going to a pre season Lambs game against the Cowbums in 78 or 79 at the Mausoleum. That's the perfect name for it to. It's a giant concrete box in the middle of shit town, downtown L.A. Watts and MLK street are nearby.Well, to be fair, they were playing at the Mausoleum."It's a huge market!

Pretty hard to fill up a 90,000+ seat venue in that neighborhood, no matter who is playing.
That said, the rest is pretty much on the mark.
The Raiders. The Rams. The Chargers moved to Whales Vagina after one year. Not a good track record.
LA is like the second or third largest TV market, so you KNOW Goddell wants a team there. But I think the Coliseum is off the table.
Maybe a franchise could be successful in a 70K stadium. But FedEx Field like 90K capacity without getting blackouts... and that's for the 'skins!
I was reading an article about Jay Cutler's demeanor and his public personality about a week ago, and the writer said something to the effect:
In New York, they want to hate you
In Chicago, they want to love you
In LA, they don't care about you
Maybe he was on to something.
Must I spell it out for you? L.A. is majority Hispanic/Illegal Alien and they like Soccer not Football.LA has the population to support three NFL teams
L.A. is broke and can't afford anything. If the NFL want's a team in L.A. they can pay for it themselves.It is an embarassment that they can't come up with the finances to support one

You'd make a good California elected official rightwinger, you look for ways to force your ideas on the populace whether they like it or not.
LOS ANGELES -- If the NFL does return to a proposed stadium in downtown Los Angeles, the league's newest venue will be called Farmers Field.
Developer AEG and Farmers Insurance Exchange announced the naming rights deal Tuesday in advance of a news conference attended by local politicians, athletes and businessmen.
The announcement took place inside the West Hall of the Los Angeles Convention Center, a building AEG plans to demolish to build its proposed 64,000-seat retractable-roof stadium, which would connect to the current convention center.
Magic Johnson, who said he hopes to become a part owner in Los Angeles' NFL team...
Even with a naming rights deal in place, Leiweke and AEG still have several hurdles to clear before they can begin construction. The company must still pass an environmental impact review, complete the entitlement process and come to a long-term land lease agreement with the city. AEG is also asking the city to issue $350 million in bonds to help build a new extension to the convention center, which would replace West Hall, and additional parking units. Leiweke has said ticket-tax revenue will pay off the debt and AEG would write a check for any shortfalls.
This just happened yesterday.

I think it's just a matter of time before they get a team. It's going to be 25 miles from downtown, in the City of Industry.

They will never get a Super Bowl
