The Raiders are actually really cool and the only thing stopping me from changing teams when they inevitably move here is that they aren't any good. Well, see ya

MourningView posted:It's harder to get between those places than it looks on the map. It's definitely doable (I've gone the other direction to go to Chargers games), but it's a way bigger pain that having the team local. And while it's true that the Chargers have a decent sized fanbase in LA, the people actually in San Diego don't view it as a LA suburb or something. It's it's own awesome city and they want it to be treated as such. A team playing in Carson isn't going to feel like it's really part of San Diego. Not only that, but San Diego is literally the 8th largest city in the country by population so there's no reason to think of themselves as LA Junior. SD to LA wouldn't even be the shortest distance between two NFL franchises, even ignoring the stupid poo poo like SF to Oakland, Cincinnati and Indianapolis are closer to each other, and I don't think anyone thinks those two teams should share a fanbase or w/e

MourningView posted:The Raiders have a pretty big fanbase in the area from the last time they were here even after moving and being terrible, I don't think that's going to decrease dramatically once they're actually playing here again. Oh of course but for all the people here who have latched on to dumbass random teams (like, oh, say, the bengals) and are more interested in rooting for a local team I think they'd probably choose the one that, at this moment, is better. Maybe that's wrong though idk

Chris James 2 posted:I don't see any way it affects the Rams. Kroenke already has land for his stadium, and they're a vote away from being allowed to build it. He's likely getting what he wants anyway. Chargers and Raiders are just fighting for a second stadium to be built in the city that they could both play in. As long as a good portion of each fanbase sticks with the team and watches on TV, ratings will be up, and the two stadiums should at least get frequent decent attendance, albeit not sellouts. Rams would probably be at best the second-most popular NFL team there if they aren't the only ones to go, but they're already not the most popular sports team in St Louis anyway so that's not a shocking development. Now on the other hand re: traffic, if both these stadiums got built though lmfao at the 405 when both the Rams and the Raiders/Chargers have home games

They keep talking about bringing Peyton in for a year or two and bringing on people who understand football and they keep asking why on Earth would that benefit anybody. It's sad and funny. These are the same radio hosts who are convinced that the Lakers are still an attractive destination for free agents

DreamtShadow posted:I'm honestly surprised that new stadiums aren't being built with public transport in mind. Yankees games are amazingly easy to get to because they put a stop right there in front of the stadium. In metro's defense the Crenshaw line was already well under construction before Kroenke even announced his proposal

Rick posted:I have no idea how much these jobs pay but planning highways has to be awful on the one hand because you're expected to deliver on the impossible, but, also cool because no one ever really expects you to accomplish these things. planning pays a little less than engineering (my field) until you get to very high levels. also from my perspective it sucks rear end because you work your butt off for years on projects and then decide no build. Zypher posted:Yeah, the Expo line will open all the way to 4th & Colorado sometime this year. They re-routed the poors through Culver City so that no station comes within a mile of their precious 90210 the santa monica thing owns because the city is 100% not ready in any way for the increased pedestrian traffic The Glumslinger posted:Metro has also said since the move became official, that they will look at building a connector from the stadium to the two nearest stops there's a vacant lot at la brea/florence that im sure they could very easily buy and build a small transit plaza to bus people to the stadium. no clue what they would do at florence/west Bip Roberts posted:Yeah, la metro is overall pretty good. Certainly less angering than every transit agency in the Bay Area. lmao octa

No one takes the blue line because it goes through places that they only know about from hip hop songs or places that they only hear about with the word "riots" following it and it's like, how the hell else are you going to get from long beach to downtown
