this here is a great article.it talks all about what i have been saying all along why the raiders depite what the lamestream media keeps reporting,have no chance in hell of going to LA or anywhere else.
how the NFL owners dont want them there. that if its anybody from the AFC so there will be two teams,it will be the chargers along with the rams.
indeed not obviously.
If there is someone remotely associated with the NFL and the upper regions of team economics who believes Rams owner Stan Kroenke just happened to buy a parcel of land in a NFL-approved region of downtown L.A. that could most definitely accommodate a stadium, well I've yet to encounter them.
This was no quirky coincidence.
Kroenke has the ability to pick up his ball and move where he wants in 2015, and he already has tremendous business and real estate ties to the Southern California area. You might read some stuff about the 60-acre parcel of land Kroenke purchased as being not large enough to accommodate a stadium, but that's baloney. I've talked to people who have the lay of the land out there, and have expertise in this realm, and they are adamant that the size of this parcel, when combined with the available parking spaces nearby, is plenty
DESPITE WHAT THEY KEEP SAYING LIKE THIS PART FROM THE ARTICLE HERE,THERE WONT BE TWO TEAMS.
The first two teams into L.A., assuming they come in together, are primed to reap massive financial benefits. The market will be theirs, the revenue streams -- through sales and marketing and suites and sponsorships and Hollywood tie-ins and that initial influx of money coming through -- would be astronomical.
HERE BELOW FOLKS IS "WHY" CONTRATY TO WHAT THE LAMESTREAM MEDIA KEEPS SAYING,THE RAIDERS WONT BE GOINT TO LA AND WHYTHE CHARGERS WOULD BE THE OTHER TEAM FROM THE AFC.
The league has shown it is very comfortable being patient and finding the right owner for L.A.,” said one person highly connected to the jostling going on for this potential market. “They are looking for one monster of an owner with the wealth and means and expertise to make this work. Could it be Kroenke, could it be Spanos, could it be (Oracle CEO Larry) Ellison (the third-richest person in America)? Certainly it could be someone like that. With the purchase of that land, Kroenke is certainly well positioned. He could be that guy, but will Stan do the work himself and how badly does he want it to happen? He is someone who tends to delegate, but if he is personally invested enough in doing the work, then it could end up being his.
“And (Raiders owner) Mark Davis is a fine fellow, but he does not have the level of experience and acumen and resources that those other men possess.”
AND THIS FOLKS IS "WHY" THE RAIDERS AND CHARGERS WONT BE COMING TO LA CAUSE BOTH OWNERS WANT TO STAY THERE UNLIKE KRONKE WHO HAS TOLD PEOPLE IN NFL CIRCLES HE WOULD LIKE TO COME TO LA.
as many expect, especially with the 49ers just setting up shop a mere 35 miles down the road. And should Davis ever actually pull that off, AT&T Park would be his best possible spot to play for a few years while that new stadium is being built.
As for the Chargers, well, should they end up pushed out of the biggest metropolis in Southern California by two other teams ending up in L.A., that would create substantial economic hardships.
The Spanos family clearly wants to stay in the area, and if Kroenke's land purchase wasn't seen as a potential shot across the bow, well, it probably should be. The timeframe for all of these machinations has suddenly sped up. Things are playing out much more in real time than as hypotheticals years down the road, and a year from now I would be shocked if there was not some very substantial wheeling and dealing going on by these franchises in regards to L.A.
