With USC threatening to move its home games to Pasadena's Rose Bowl, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa called for a long-term deal to keep the Trojans in the Memorial Coliseum, saying for the first time he has given up hope of the National Football League returning to the aging stadium. "While I remain committed to bringing a professional team to Los Angeles, it is time to read the scoreboard," Villaraigosa said in a statement Wednesday. "The Coliseum is no longer a viable option for the NFL."

No longer an option for Vikings.

The NFL is all about Suites & Club seating.

A new stadium is a given.

Sounds a lot more like he's gunning for a new stadium than giving up on the NFL.

If they build a new field, it's a given they'll get a new team.
