    Maybe sharing a stadium isn't as nuts as my first impression.
    Edit: Doh! It's Inglewood, not Anaheim. Still, that's just 2 hours.


    I'm happy to see the Rams back in L.A. Tradition matters a lot. Cleveland got Lebron back, that's enough for them.

    I'd bang JLD. Once. Just once.

    I agree. They have to compete with USC and UCLA among football fans, but also 2 baseball teams, 2 NBA teams, and an NHL team. In addition MLS has 1 LA team, and shortly will have 2. With LA's large hispanic population, that's one city where futbol might be more popular than football.

    Actually, I don't think "the area" support matters much for the NFL. Football, as opposed to the other sports, is nearly completely nationalized. They sell TV across the country, whereas baseball is mostly broadcast in local markets. TV rights are the big money. The misc. local revenues hardly matters. Maybe that wasn't so true 20 years ago.

    In case you think I'm talking out of my ass, well, I'll have you know I heard this explanation yesterday from somebody on TV, so it must be true.

    They still have to keep the local owner profitable, but NFL is so popular now, I doubt that is much of a concern.

    The National money is big and a difference maker, obviously. But the newer ownerships have been making hay with local sponsorships (Washington has sponsors for training camp AND chargers admission). Jerry violated the League official beverage deal with Coke to land Pepsi as a sponsor. And Rodger Goodall was the flunky that found a way to sell that to the League Office and other owners.

    So local revenue is much larger piece of the pie (especially compared to pre-Jones Snyder Kraft groups) and can make or break a team's debt service.

    It would be going too far to suggest that a lack of sell outs is going to doom them though. There are very large sponsors that could be had in LA. Its competitive, but the pool is very large

    Huh, imagine that. Funny business to land a big deal.

    Via Angel Jennings of the Los Angeles Times, Barbara Ohno alleges that Inglewood Mayor James T. Butts (pictured) instructed employees to “create a faςade of financial responsibility and well-being” for Inglewood during the competition with Carson for the privilege of putting a football stadium within city limits. Ohio claim that Inglewood regularly used money from a federal Asset Forfeiture Fund to pay for expenses that could not be covered by the Inglewood General Fund.
    “I was told to stand down, look the other way and be a team player because when Inglewood got the Rams, there would be so much money coming in, no one would care how the city ran its finances,” Ohno said in a statement, via the Times.

    dont forget the detail that the Cleveland move and the recent move were approved on the same day.
    That says to me they already knew they were moving the team long ago because thats too coincidental
