When I'm in Vegas I'm not going to notice a double digit change in hotel room costs. I'm there to drink and gamble and go to Spearmint and not having an additional $40 is probably for the better. Miss me with that miser poo poo.

tk posted:I thought they authorized the move last year when they approved the Rams? Yep. As part of allowing the Rams to move to LA via the secret vote, owners softened the blow to Spanos by giving him the option to move to LA and rent from Kroenke. I don't think any of the owners thought he would do it, though, because there is nothing beneficial about moving to the Kroenkedome unless Spanos plans on selling the team ASAP. e: Neil Armbong posted:I thought there were reports before the move was announced that the NFL wanted the Chargers to stay and were offering some sort of financial help. Then a day later he announced the move. I felt like he pulled the trigger on the relocation because of the talk about them staying. NFL had already offered $300m (or something like that) to make a deal with SD. There were rumors of another $100m being thrown to help build a new stadium if Spanos stayed in SD, but they were just rumors. Spanos going to LA means that he lost the $300m of house money to play with AND required him to pay ~$650m in relocation fees, so it's not like an extra $100m was going to win him over either way.

FCKGW posted:I don't remember how the Raider/Chargers Carson project was supposed to be funded, was that all private money? Spanos and Davis had a gentleman's agreement to go 50/50 on an arena (minus whatever public funds they could get). The idea was that Spanos was willing to share evenly (despite having the higher net worth) explicitly because the Raiders brand in LA was a guaranteed ROI.

Slothass posted:Has there been any word on talks between Kronke and Dean? Did he just announce this move without any prior negotiations about the logistics of sharing the stadium? Rams were not apprised of the Chargers' decision to move to LA. I'm guessing they're in talks right now and one of two things is happening: 1) Dean Spanos is not involved in the negotiations at all and things are going smoothly (but the Chargers are not getting the winfall they were hoping for) 2) Dead Spanos is currently very upset that Kroenke is playing hardball with PSL revenue sharing because gosh darnit, being hated by 30 teams and millions of fans is hard enough. Jiminy Christmas! Shoes! posted:I believe all relo's have to receive 23 of the 32 owner votes. As has been stated, SD got the votes approving a move on the condition that LA was allowed to move immediately. Since LA moved, the SD move option was activated regardless of an additional vote.

ColdBlooded posted:I think the best thing about this is that now everyone, not just Charger fans, are aware of the fact that Dean Spanos is both a moron and a huge piece of poo poo. How short is the list of NFL owners that are not morons or huge pieces of poo poo? Arthur Blank and Paul Allen?

whiteyfats posted:Mark Davis, like his father, is both cool and good, hth. Mark Davis is a fairly level headed owner and hasn't hosed anyone over, so I don't have anything against him on those fronts. Seems like all he wants to do is win and eat wings, which is cool in my book. That being said, please look at his haircut and his taste in Chinese Bistros and tell me that he isn't an idiot.

Slothass posted:Ok. I can't get passed the Chargers not talking to the Rams before announcing this move. What happens if they can't come to an agreement? Like Kroenke sticks it to them so bad they can't say yes to it. What then? I'm thinking the NFL will step in on Spanos' behalf once the negotiations start going south, but Spanos is at the mercy of the Rams. The issue here is that Spanos cashed in all of his good will with the other owners in the last 6 months. When Kroenke's rental agreement has the Rams dipping into all sorts of Chargers revenue, Goodell will tell Spanos to take the deal or kick rocks because he put himself in that corner.

Adelson openly said that the funding for the Vegas arena, at least on his end, "was not secure" after the public funding vote passed. It was pretty easy to connect the dots that he wanted to get in on the action once the city was on the hook.
