The LA Times had a little slideshow of the current proposed stadiums, and also included a drawing of a proposed Carson stadium from the 90s:

Do you think the NFL will issue a dickish public statement to take shots at St. Louis and San Diego? It seems like something Goodell would do.

Actually, Columbus is about three hours and fifteen minutes away from Detroit. Grand Rapids is about two hours from Detroit, move the Lions to Grand Rapids, you take them, you cheap Dutch bastards

How about Toledo? The point was not distance, it was about sticking them in Ohio, where no self-respecting Michigander would want to follow them.

I drove from Maryland to Oregon and it loving owned, saw all kinds of cool poo poo, plus I got stuck in a blizzard in western nebraska and had to draft an 18 wheeler in my little honda for 50 miles.

But seriously if you are an American you owe it to yourself to do a cross country road trip at some point in your life.

I went from Detroit to Denver this year, it was awesome. In parts.

Since I never look at hockey threads before the playoffs what's up with the Golden Knights maybe getting sued by the Army? I mean I know about the parachute team and all but is there a chance they actually have to change names?

The organization is totally and entirely staffed with incompetents, hopefully they have to change the name.

Agreed. The city has made noise about making them change the name if they move in though.

Snyder tried for years to make FedEx as inaccessible as possible, even barring people from walking in from Metro/off-site parking until he lost a suit over it. But, it turns out, when you make it a pain in the rear end to get to your stadium, people don't want to go! Crazy stuff.

Are there any articles that easily explain this story?

What are the average capacity for NHL arenas vs soccer stadiums?

NHL is typically around 20,000, soccer is usually more.

Soccer has more space around the playing surface, and tend to be outside with a roof over the stands only.

It's basically just since they were an expansion team that they've been god awful, before that they had periods of badness but nothing out of the ordinary at all. Yeah they hadn't won a Super Bowl through the first 30 but a bunch of teams hadn't.

Through Super Bowl 30, here's who won, hadn't won before, and hadn't played.

Won: Green Bay, NY Jets, Kansas City, Baltimore (Colts), Dallas, Miami, Pittsburgh, Oakland, San Francisco, Washington, Chicago, NY Giants.

Hadn't won: Minnesota, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Cincinnati, New England, Buffalo, Denver, San Diego

Hadn't played: Detroit, Seattle, Arizona, Atlanta, New Orleans, Tampa Bay, Carolina, Cleveland, Baltimore (Ravens), Indianapolis, Houston/Tennessee, Jacksonville.

Through today, here are those same lists.

Won: Green Bay, NY Jets, Kansas City, Baltimore (Colts), Dallas, Miami, Pittsburgh, Oakland, San Francisco, Washington, Chicago, NY Giants, Denver, Los Angeles/St. Louis, Baltimore (Ravens), New England, Tampa Bay, Indianapolis, New Orleans, Seattle,

Hadn't won: Minnesota, Philadelphia, Cincinnati, Buffalo, San Diego, Atlanta, Tennessee, Carolina, Arizona.

Hadn't played: Detroit, Cleveland, Jacksonville, Houston.

The Lions are the worst team, as the only ones going 0 for 50 in even making the Super Bowl. Then Cleveland.

Apparently after seeing the backlash in San Diego over the Chargers moving to LA, the NFL is worried about riots at the Oakland Coliseum if the Raiders announce they're moving to Las Vegas and still have to play in the OCo for the next few years. Looks like if the Raiders move to Vegas they are going to try and cut and run, and not play in Oakland next year.

Isn't that stadium already ruins?
