As a Broncos fan in LA, I am extremely pleased with the Chargers/Raiders stadium plan. Sucks for San Diego but an extra four hour round trip to get to a game is a small price to pay for the team staying in the general vicinity.


...silver lining? :iiam:


I have no sympathy for Raiders fans.

We're not the ones on here crying, though, so thanks for the sentiment, I guess?

Yes I am sure that every Raiders fan in America is on board with this because obviously all of them live in Los Angeles...although I guess based on that tarp most of them probably do.

Both my bay area and SD buddies are crying about this on facebook, for what it's worth.



Well, thanks for telling me that you, specifically, don't care about the Raiders moving. That's cool to know.

Honestly, Raiders gear looks cool as hell. No shame there. Broncos rule but it's impossible to wear the colors without looking retarded. How can you live in LA and not rock a Lakers or Raiders ballcap with one of them fancy pants stickers??

The NYC area has had 3 hockey teams for over 30 years and it's worked out well. Also there's never really been a Giants/Jets rivalry, and the Jets wanted out of Shea since they had little say there (i.e. they couldn't play home games until Mets season was over).

LA should only get the Rams or Raiders, no need to screw things up on multiple levels.

I wish we got the Jags so I wouldn't feel like a douche supporting the hometown team

So AEG, who wants to build the stadium in downtown LA, commissioned a report about how the Inglewood stadium would be a likely site for a terrorist attack.

On the flip side, AEG's stadium will never exist so it can't really be the target of any attacks...

It's bad but not that bad. The remediation plan makes sense and covers what it needs. If the toxic substance situation was really bad it would be a) a Superfund site and b) human activities would not be permitted. Instead, the EPA is using the Brownfields program to cover the cleanup. Basically this means that the EPA doesn't think people or the environment will be harmed once the waste is contained.

St. Louis: Have a plan but no money, also the team's owner owns land in LA and is gonna build a stadium.

San Diego: Have a plan and are currently negotiating with the city on the financing. Also jointly own 168 acres in Carson, 157 of which are a toxic waste dump.

Oakland: Team has no money, City of Oakland says they won't finance anything.

I know it's probably a joke but I just wanna reiterate that the "toxic waste dump" is safe enough to develop and use normally. It only needs containment wells to extract the contaminated groundwater, which won't affect the stadium occupants' health since they presumably won't be drinking the tainted water. I actually took a look at the EPA Brownfields reports/data and the site looks good to go*. I suppose there are earthquake worries but if the stadium gets hosed up that badly, then tainted groundwater is the least of our worries. Anyway, remediation is tailored specific to every site so the containment is designed with earthquakes in mind.

*I am not a water quality expert but I have some experience through classes and some field work. Getting my degree next Saturday though so hopefully I'll be doing something cool with water resources soon.

The Spurs are the best "modern" NBA franchise. They only managed to beat the Lakers when they were good once, and the Lakers beat them a lot of times when the Spurs were in their prime on the way to their tiles, and I'll always have that to hold over Bashez, but the Spurs have just kept winning without any drop off so even I can't deny him "best team of the last 20 years."

Celtics had 3-4 good years over the past 10 years, but the Cavs and Heat have had similar runs and were arguably better.

If it's over the last 20 years then it's still the Lakers. :smug:
