As far as I know, Farmer's Field is dead in the water.

The owner of the Rams has that chunk of land in downtown LA. I think the Rams and Raiders both move there within the decade.

Oakland took ten years to decide on a dog park (they finally said no recently). No loving way anything gets done there.

He bought sixty acres in Inglewood, which is like 10-15 miles away from downtown LA. It's actually near LAX, which is a potentially huge problem, because of gridlock and because the stadium would be directly in the flight path of landing planes. I remember the LA Times mentioning that despite Al Davis getting approval to build a stadium there in the 90's, but it wouldn't be so easy post-9/11.

According to Wikipedia, it's estimated Davis owned 47% before he died.

You seriously don't get that this is like super inconvenient to do? Especially since games are on a Sunday.

Hey sorry your team moved, Oakland fans, but you can drive 6 hours (probably more like 7 or 8 with LA traffic), get a hotel, and miss work the next Monday while you drive back, so it's not really THAT big a deal.

They'll have high speed rail to get them to the game in 2029. :colbert:

Just kidding, that's more of a pipe dream than a new stadium in Oakland

The best thing to be said about the Alamodome is that it's harmless.

If the Clippers just sold for 2 billion, an NFL team in LA would fetch significantly more than that.
