Report: Chargers, Raiders joining forces on shared stadium bid in L.A.
We've seen the L.A. Raiders before, but the L.A. Chargers? And what about the Rams? Seems like they're preparing to move to L.A. as well ... Rams ending popular St. Louis fan events, promotions - SBNation.com ... can the City of Angels support three NFL franchises?

Like all big plans, looks like there'll be problems ... or it's just a ploy for SD/OAK to secure public funding for new stadiums, :neutral:. IDK, I'd like to see the Rams get back there.

This could be a bluff to gain leverage. I hate to see any city lose it's team, but, if either San Diego or Oakland decide that they don't want to bankrupt themselves over this, I'll be hard pressed to blame them.
Oh, and 2 teams in a city that really doesn't care about pro football? Nice. |

I dont think states should be using public money to back up rich business private companies anyway.

Re: Report: Chargers, Raiders joining forces on shared stadium bid in L.A.
Cities paying for stadiums is such s strange concept over here. It happens sometimes in France but no way would happen here. Teams have to finance there own upgrades and new stadiums. The owners accept it but then the money in the Premier League and oligarchs and Arab oil men involved have that cash
My team is doing up 2 of the stands to increase to 61000 and its costing the best part of £200ml to do so with the owners(John Henry and FSG/NESV,owners of the Red Soxs) and paying up front with the money coming back from tbe club over a number of years |
Re: Report: Chargers, Raiders joining forces on shared stadium bid in L.A.
In the case of an owner like Mike Ilitch (Tigers/RedWings), I don't mind so much them giving him some tax breaks/funding for his stadiums/arenas because he does a lot of other stuff around the city and usually funds 50% of any project with his own money. They're debating funding for a new arena (RedWings) right now and it's running into some snags ... IDK, how can you spend money on a new arena (as a city/region) when you're infrastructure is falling apart? That's what I wonder sometimes, :neutral:.

If a city os in good shape and has the money to do so i wouldn't have a issue with funding stadiums so long as the team has to stay there to make it worth while. Im sure the taxes on players salary and huge spending sprees,additional income from fans at games etc makes it worthwhile in the long term,BUT if a city is struggling it shouldnt be spending to help a private company
