Work down there, live down there, get the gently caress outta my town. I visited Sacramento recently for the first time. It is indeed a giant shithole.

Why even keep the Chargers name at this point? It's not a popular brand in LA and they seem to have changed the logo and the colours.

You know it wouldn't be so bad if it was like a NFL Game/Music/Art festival. Just Coachella that poo poo out.

The NFL Hall of fame selection committee is comprised of one media representative from each city with an NFL team. Obviously NYC and LA would get two now, but that shut essentially shut out Don Coryell's chances of in the pro football HoF? What LA rep would give a poo poo about him

So here's a good article about the monetary reasons behind the move http://www.foxsports.com/nfl/story/san-diego-chargers-los-angeles-move-relocation-011217?cmpid=feed:-sports-MSNcom It's a depressing read, honestly

Febreeze posted:So here's a good article about the monetary reasons behind the move The thing is that piece takes as gospel that PSL sales will be a massive financial boon for the two teams when the Rams already have an attendance problem and actively dicked over the previous PSL owners and for the Chargers, who are likely not in the top half dozen teams for fanbases in LA. Who's dropping 4-10k on these PSL's exactly ?

I toured California last year. Every small Californian town has generic "lol we're just like the wild west!" tourist traps like Old Timey General Stores/Old Timey Candy Shops/Old Timey Saloons/etc. Sacramento's waterfront is a giant version of this. Like, walk a block and it starts repeating itself with the same "restaurant/candy shop/antique shop" combination. The river is disgusting and I would have rather been anywhere else. Their minor league baseball stadium on the other side of the bridge looked kinda cool.

I'm a little confused on the Rams attendance problem because the data I've seen shows then second in attendance behind the cowboys. Maybe that's based on tickets sold rather than actual people coming through the gate but I don't think that really matters from the teams perspective and in selling psls.

Empty seats turn into unsold seats eventually though, and 30k fans showing up out of 80k sold isn't a good trend

http://www.sfchronicle.com/raiders/ostler/article/Raiders-move-to-Las-Vegas-is-no-sure-thing-10851697.php Just a reminder that the Raiders deal is still $650M short, until/unless Sheldon Adelson decides he'll cough that up without getting shares of the team, or the Davis family decides they'll give up more shares of the team (they're already below 50% ownership) to make the deal happen. Neither seems super-likely.

EugeneJ posted:I toured California last year. Sounds like you missed out on all the Placer County bro-truck driving angry Trumpers though! sad. Hey do people get violently shitfaced drunk at Galaxy games like a normal NFL game? Their bathrooms are going to get destroyed by NFL crowds. from that article: "On top of that, facilities like restrooms and concessions will need to be expanded to serve any additional capacity. Premium seating may be improved and signage, from LED boards to scoreboards, could be improved as well. So could any number of other aspects of the stadium."

As someone who doesn't watch or follow football (this is on my radar because I'm from San Diego), what are the tangible or even theoretical benefits of the move? Or is it pretty much some old rich dude throwing a temper tantrum because SD taxpayers refused to buy him a shiny new stadium, so he took his ball and went home?

They'll sell because its football and then the novelty wears off and suddenly those people stop buying them because they arent forking out that much money to watch a team they dont actually like go 5-11
