Ross Angeles posted:St. Louis: Have a plan but no money, also the team's owner owns land in LA and is gonna build a stadium. I know it's probably a joke but I just wanna reiterate that the "toxic waste dump" is safe enough to develop and use normally. It only needs containment wells to extract the contaminated groundwater, which won't affect the stadium occupants' health since they presumably won't be drinking the tainted water. I actually took a look at the EPA Brownfields reports/data and the site looks good to go*. I suppose there are earthquake worries but if the stadium gets hosed up that badly, then tainted groundwater is the least of our worries. Anyway, remediation is tailored specific to every site so the containment is designed with earthquakes in mind. *I am not a water quality expert but I have some experience through classes and some field work. Getting my degree next Saturday though so hopefully I'll be doing something cool with water resources soon.  /spergoverEifert Posting posted:I'll be sure to never rob the bank next door.

An NBA crew truck got robbed at the panda express on hegenberger. 40k of equipment stolen out of their truck. http://www.mercurynews.com/crime-courts/ci_28253986/40k-equipment-stolen-nba-crew-dines-east-oakland Also, I didn't know anyone other than Cambodians knew how to make donuts. Also also, glazed old fashioned for life.

Like what has actually been verified? Yeah I can't keep up with how many different plans different teams are having in different sites around SoCal. poo poo is nuts.

NC-17 posted:Could someone clarify what the hell is actually happening because it seems like every week there's a different group making another announcement to build *something* in a different place for a different team. Like what has actually been verified? There are three plans. 1.) Inglewood. This is the land around Hollywood Park that Stan Kroenke owns and plans to develop and build a stadium on. As of now, this is the plan that is furthest along and probably means the Rams are gone. 2.) Carson. This is the 168 acres in Carson, CA that is jointly owned by the Chargers and Raiders. Myself and many others believe that this will never happen because the NFL doesn't want two stadiums in LA. Plus the site would have to go through years of decontamination and political red tape before a shovel goes into the ground. 3.) San Diego. The CSAG (Citizens Stadium Advisory Group) has presented the mayor and Chargers the framework for a new stadium in San Diego, at the current Qualcomm site. The team and city are currently in negotiations over it. There's no plan in Oakland.

zen death robot posted:There is money, and the city wants to wipe out a part of the downtown riverfront that's badly blighted. The stadium will most likely get built, there's just a few (seriously 3 or 4) state politicians making a big deal out of it and they'll get told to shut up soon. They've been careful to say that they are working with the NFL directly and not the Rams or Kroenke though. It'll be interesting to see how the NFL plans to make everyone happy. Chargers in St Louis, Rams and Raiders in LA, everyone wins.

I really hate smug Cardinals fans, but losing your team is pretty rough, even if they're going back somewhere they used to play. Also the idea of the St. Louis Chargers is absurd to me. No way that happens, it's way too weird. If you have to have a team in St. Louis move the Titans or Colts or something.

I wondered about Kroenke keeping the Rams in St. Louis with a publically financed stadium, building the Inglewood stadium and charging the Raiders (and/or Chargers?) rent to play there. Is that plausible?

Another thing that's out there ishttp://www.stltoday.com/sports/columns/bernie-miklasz/bernie-can-stl-be-the-next-cleveland-in-nfl/article_ea2bb1a4-9219-5ab1-9065-ed0611c4df97.html posted:"2. The NFL makes a Denver deal with Kroenke, who would be given first-in-line status to purchase the Denver Broncos should the franchise go up for sale in the next several years. This would undoubtedly have some appeal for Kroenke, who owns Denver-based teams in the NHL, NBA and MLS. By adding the Broncos to his properties, Kroenke would no longer be in violation of the NFL's rule prohibiting cross ownership.
