I went to a Chiefs bar in Studio City, CA last Sunday. It was like 50 Chiefs fans and the rest were Rams fans. I discovered that this was okay. Raiders and Chargers, much more difficult.

MechaFrogzilla posted:The L.A. Rams. Huh. How about that. So, three seasons in the Coliseum, followed by a move to the old Hollywood Park. Is there any transit heading that way? I know LA has been expanding its light rail. There are 6 million people in Missouri, more than half of them root for the Chiefs. There are 18 million people in the greater Los Angeles combined statistical area.

midwest ink posted:How many of those are transplants that don't give a poo poo about an LA team? Not enough. With those kind of numbers it just doesn't matter. A stadium by LAX will be supported. There will be Superbowls. Bowl Games. UCLA will play games here from time to time. Book it.

^^^^ LA Coliseum, where they used to play and USC plays now. Sharzak posted:Can you imagine the loving drive to inglewood from downtown on Sunday Take Olympic, you'll be fine. Also I have no idea why I feel this way but I really think the Chargers will get something worked out to stay in San Diego and the same for Oakland/Raiders making this the best possible outcome.

Let's talk about myths. Myths are fun to say. Like St. Louis is a racist city, sure they've been in the news a lot. But really that's not the feeling I get when I visit there, then again I stay away from East St. Louis. But really the racism of Missouri, which is pretty legendary, is outside the city limits of St. Louis or KC. Racism exists everywhere but let's move on to some other myths. -LA is a shithole. Everyone who visits LAX, gets caught in 405 traffic and looks at the neighborhoods around the 405 is like man LA is a shithole. I used to be one of those people. It isn't true but whatever. Even after you move here if you move into the wrong area like I did with Koreatown you can still think it's a shithole. The truth is it is diverse and huge and good and bad areas exist. You go up to someone from let's say Pasadena and you're like do you feel like you live in a shithole? No way man. -LA is nothing but Kardashians who'd rather go to the beach than watch football. This one is infuriating. As if all 18 million people here are anything like that very very very small subgroup of people. Beach people are beach people, no football fan sits there and thinks huh should I watch football this morning or drive an hour to the beach and spend another hour looking for parking so I can sit in the sand in the winter because it's oh so fun. It's not. You're a surfer or beach person or you're not and you don't spend your winter weekends going to an overcast chilly beach when loving football is on. -LA is all transplants with football allegiances to other teams. This is just lazy and dumb. Again 18 million people, the majority of which are born here. There are a lot of transplants but this hot take is usually done by either people who don't live in LA or transplants who hang out with other transplants. It's simply false. -St. Louis Rams fans are die-hard fans who got screwed and lost their beloved team to a nasty money-hungry owner who sees the big lights of LA and got dazzled. Give me a break. This is the third NFL team to ditch St. Louis, the Rams played in LA for 49 years before they went to St. Louis and the Rams were LAST IN THE NFL in attendance. St. Louis has never really supported the Rams and it isn't like the Rams belong to St. Louis. I don't feel bad for them, if they're such victims let's see how quickly they would embrace the Cardinals ditching Phoenix and coming back to St. Louis, that would turn the tables in one second. -LA fans won't support a team that doesn't win... Okay this one is true. The Rams need to win, that's just the truth.

You sound bitter because you don't make enough money and hate crowds. That doesn't make it a toilet, it makes it the wrong city for you. I live in Studio City and I'm not a 1%, what are you even talking about. edit: and a lot of the news people are reporting that Carson was never a serious option.

I mean, I'm not trying to derail but it's one of the few places where in less than two hours you can be in like five different climate zones. I personally ski a lot, go to wine country a lot, hike a lot and camp a lot. You don't get that in KC where I'm from. It's an 8 hour drive to Chicago which is largely the same.

wattershed posted:It seems like most people who live in LA choose to do so because they can do their job there (and it'd be impossible/very hard to do elsewhere). Anyone who's not reliant on a certain industry and who still wants the geography/weather perks just moves to San Diego. Now this, this is a good take.

Also on the list for cities with horrible roads that nobody talks about: DC and Atlanta.

I don't mean like the quality of roads, I mean like confusing as hell for outsiders. Granted I drove in both without maps before smart phones. Atlanta apparently named all of their roads Peachtree.

Well I think it's because people like me assumed it sucked, moved here and found out it isn't so bad and now we're arguing against our old selves as much as we are the stigma. I have zero problem saying that San Diego is a superior city in every conceivable way you can measure that.

wattershed posted:A stadium by OB (you're probably thinking that land immediately around Sea World) would be built like a normal stadium and end up looking like the one in the CGI renders on the last page because it's all marsh and would sink into the earth with velocity. I had no idea that area was wetlands. No wonder it feel like an untapped resource. Come to think of it having wide open spaces like that is pretty rare in that area and would be a shame to develop.
