    Is Los Angeles definitely getting a team in the near future?

    read this and found it interesting...I knew the idea was out there and there were some proposals but this makes it seem like its imminent...



    Goodell said owners need more money to offset "costs of financing, building, maintaining and operating stadiums."
    He added: "We need new stadiums in Los Angeles, Minneapolis, San Francisco, Oakland and San Diego."

        I don't know that they will build a stadium in my lifetime in L.A.

                It probably wont happen for at least 4 to 5 years at minimum in the Los Angeles area. That entire State got hit pretty hard when the Real Estate bubble blew up at the beginning of this recent recession. It will take awhile for states like California to recover from such economic disasters like that. Until that happens, no new stadiums are likely to pop up in those respective states.

                  LA proposals are fairly unrealistic, pricing wise.

                  The NFL is throwing everything they can think of to raise the owner's need for more cash. I'll accuse the owners of being greedy, but i won't accuse them as being collectively stupid enough to fall for some of those stadiums proposed in LA. It's fine if the county is paying for them (which they can't and won't), but it's a bankruptcy waiting to happen if a private business man looks to do it.

                    The NFL would really like to be in the L.A. market, which is the second (?) largest in the country. That's the impetus for this movement, not that L.A. is some sort of great football town.
                    Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

                        Well, there were a good number of fans that bought tickets that would have really liked to sit in their seat & watch the Super Bowl. That did not happen & I doubt a new stadium happens in LA anytime soon either.

                            Great football towns and great money markets are not one and the same.

                            Big markets are great money markets. Great football towns can be of any size (see: Green Bay).

                            Buffalo is one of the few teams with the best of both worlds: a great, but small, football town and a big-money town in Toronto.

                            The NFL needs both to survive as a major league.

                              does this mean Buffalo could end up being the LA Primadonnas in the next few years?
