Korranus posted:So what does this do to the Rams? Can LA support three NFL teams? 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.

I don't think 3 teams in one area is impossible, especially with how well NY's handled both the Giants and Jets. I just don't think it all happens in the same year. The problem there is 1) Kroenke has no reason to cave (poo poo, he'd be stupid if he did at this point with how much he's tried to make that LA stadium of his work), 2) as thompson said there isn't much time left for the Chargers or SD to cave, and 3) if the Raiders cave they still end up with at best a temporary poo poo home due to the whole clusterfuck with the A's.

zen death robot posted:It's kind of interesting that Kroenke went so far as to say that nearly every city in the US is better suited for an NFL team than St Louis. I don't know if that'll effect the eventual vote at all but that's a hell of a thing to essentially pitch to that a city is poisonous to the league. He doesn't give a poo poo. At least now he's admitting it

DOOP posted:Vegas Raiders will completely upstage the Vegas NHL team It's why I see the NFL going through with it. Vegas is getting a sports team eventually no matter what, let's be honest. At least this way they would be able to say they were the first to technically do it instead of just talk about it, and if it's anywhere near as successful as both leagues have assumed it'd be, they're the first to immediately profit from it. If this goes to a league vote, I see it passing.
