Did the chargers do any.teachung out to oher cities other than LA like Davis did with San Antonio? My swami prediction: Rams and chargers get the ok to.move to LA. Raiders get told no and they remain at the coliseum under 1 year deals until the A's move to jack London square.

weakness posted:As someone who lives in Jack London Square, what is this?! I don't know if you're joking but there's no room here for a stadium. Blowing my mind, if true. Howard terminal is one of the proposed sites for the A's. http://www.insidebayarea.com/breaking-news/ci_29307899/oakland-pitches-stadium-sites Really though, both the A's snd the raiders want sole control over the coliseum site and are elbowing each other for it. The A's have the advantage in that they signed a ten year contract for it while the raiders have been on one year deals.

Ross Angeles posted:Also I really doubt that the 550 million dollar relocation fee is gonna be one big lump sum. It'll probably be paid off over 20 years. Every NFL owners gets like 190 million dollars a year just for TV revenue, so let's not pretend like Mark Davis is in poverty. While we're talking about this, remember davis offered to put up $500M for a stadium in oakland. The League has this kind of money. It could float bonds for new stadiums, it just sets a bad precedent when they're trying to squeeze the same money free out of the taxpayer. I love football as a sport, but gently caress it so hard as a business.

Yudo posted:Walker did the Bucks owners a solid by helping to shift $250 million cut from the Wisconsin University system to fund the new arena. Empty quoting to let this sink in. Public financing of professional sports facilities literally takes money out of education. I love my Raiders, but gently caress no should any more public money go to that team. You guys are rich. Figure that poo poo out. Bootstraps, son!

Volkerball posted:I believe so, and Davis really does want to stay in Oakland. It's not a matter of attendance or anything like that. When the Raiders were good in Oakland, they were profitable. I had not read anywhere that even at the depths of this past decade they were losing money.

Volkerball posted:Well no, but it's not about not losing money, it's about being profitable. They've flirted with the 30's in team rankings at times in that miserable decade after Gruden left. But for instance, in 2001 and 2002 they were up around the top 5 in selling out. They have shown they can not just get by, but thrive. Maybe I have to dust off my textbooks but not losing money and being profitable are the same thing. Maybe you mean a difference in degree. Just being at the bottom of attendance doesn't mean the team is losing money especially when so much revenue is shared. But maybe they were losing money. It's a possibility. The books iirc are closed. The only way we get a peek into them is sideways by looking at the packers finances.

Volkerball posted:Then why are they likely going to move two teams to LA? Why do they have two teams in New York? In a two team market, it's less likely that both teams will suck at the same time thus always holding onto the tv share in that large market. Going back a few posts, the Raiders had a big problem with ticket sales and tv revenue for a while. The whole reason the tarps were put up on mount davis was to meet the percentage threshold of tickets sold in order to avoid tv blackouts. iirc, they ended up signing an agreement that gave a larger share of the revenue to the visiting team in exchange for a lower threshold to avoid blackouts.

Best resolution would be no relocation plan gets enough votes and Spanos has to crawl back to San Diego with his hat in his hand for a one year deal at Qualcomm. No plan gets enough votes because their too busy planning to emergency draft after a meteor hits gilette saturday during the pats - chiefs game.

Ross Angeles posted:This isn't actually true They're fair weather more than anything else. If the LA team doesn't have the success of the contemporary patriots, Angelinos aren't going to fight the traffic to fill the stadium. But if you had to rank the three teams on nothing more than brand value to the market, it'd go Raiders, Rams, Chargers.

Ross Angeles posted:Chargers are targeting 2022 for a possible downtown stadium opening date lol I still don't get the Chargers strategy here. Didn't they accept the la move? Why did they announce that so early if they're still trying to get their sd stadium deal done? Doesn't having a foot out the door torpedo their chances at the poll? Also, gently caress the Chargers. Bend over and prepare for Carr and cooper and Mack.

NC-17 posted:Why are sport stadiums the only buildings in America that can't be loving renovated? Who designs a piece of public infrastructure that is obsolete in 40 years? It's mostly stadiums of a particular era. Places like qualcomm and the oakland coliseum were concrete monstrosities meant to be tailgated around. Maxwells Demon posted:The incentives have changed such that stadiums want a bunch of VIP boxes since the League doesn't dip into those sales. And this. If you look at the places that have been successfully renovated, the renovations were laregely about putting in more luxury boxes. For example:  or  If you're building from scratch you just say gently caress it and build half the stadium as luxury boxes

Ross Angeles posted:I guess they're going to try and utilize the same high rise parking structures that the padres use, plus the article says there's going to be a massive underground parking structure under the stadium I wish the A's and Raiders would do the same thing at the coliseum site. One of the sticking points to it all is parking while a new thing is built on one of the parking lots. A multistory parking structure would solve all these problems and we could have two single use stadiums there with parking and access to bart. Kinda kill tailgating though..
