Yeah, but the easy teardown of that is there will never be a team in London. London isn't like LA. It's not a case of "A good season will get them onboard". Gridiron football, outside of a small sliver of enthusiasts, doesn't exist here. They wouldn't know if a season was bad or good until they come home holding the Lombardi. Moving a team here isn't just getting the locals onboard with a new team, it's getting the locals onboard with a new sport.

They sell out the international games because it's a novelty. Give it one or two seasons of a local team not making the playoffs, it'll make Levi's Stadium look like Lambeau.

Whether it's a good idea or the locals care is immaterial to the fact it's happening. The league put a team in Jacksonville. Not every decision they make is going to be smart. Just look at the way they're increasing the number of games per year and the fact it will literally be 8 per year in a couple years. It is happening if those 8 games all sell out several years in a row, book it.

The Bay at least has a good public transportation system so getting in and out of it doesn't suck Don't the Lakers get a special later start time for home games because of how bad the traffic is? Would the Rams get something like that for MNF or TNF? quote:I mean, I'm not trying to derail but it's one of the few places where in less than two hours you can be in like five different climate zones.

It seems like most people who live in LA choose to do so because they can do their job there (and it'd be impossible/very hard to do elsewhere). Anyone who's not reliant on a certain industry and who still wants the geography/weather perks just moves to San Diego.

It's weird to see the LA people hate on St. Louis so much and the St. Louis people hate on LA. Both are cities that wrongfully, in most cases, catch a lot of poo poo for reasons that aren't really true. When the Rams left LA they had terrible ownership and left town in a greedy haste, thereby loving the fans. When the Rams left STL they had terrible ownership and left town in a greedy haste, thereby loving the fans. What I'm saying is we are all in this together you fuckers. Kroenke is trash yes, but when thinking about what team to support now I figure all owners are pretty much comic book levels of rich, maniacal, vile characters so who cares. May as well stick with the team I grew up on (I was barely even alive when the football Cards were here, all I know is the Rams) if I'm keeping up with the NFL.

LA is terrible. I think 99% of people will agree on that. However, the NFL has plenty of teams in terrible cities. New Orleans, Detroit and Pittsburgh are in the top ten for terrible cities in the USA.

For any old people from St. Louis: was it really confusing having the baseball Cardinals and the football Cardinals? Like in September/October  "I'm going to go to the Cardinals game this weekend."  "Cool, who's pitching?" "Uh...Lomax."Or "Hey man, I've got free Cardinals tickets! You want to go?" "Hell yeah! Who are they playing?" "The Browns!" "Oh, those Cardinals. Actually, I have to wash my car."

Sharzak posted:What's wrong with Pittsburgh? ~90% of the populate is homeless and exists by panhandling. That's an exaggeration, but I get asked more for money any given weekend I visit Pittsburgh than a month in DC. It doesn't have any food "scene." The famous restaurants there are known for their portion size, rather than quality. It's completely run down, at any given time one of the bridges/tunnels into the city is closed causing traffic delays that could be avoided by working on things at night. Iron City beer sucks. It's a city with no redeeming qualities.
