Been awhile since I said that...welcome back!

New stadium will be bigger than Jerry's World.

Who is paying for Taj Mahal in L.A.?

 

[GA_Boater]

Sorry - Inglewood.

But then the NYJ and NYG both play in NJ. LOL

Stan Kroenke...pays to be married to a Walton and make money building WalMarts.

If you look at a map of where Inglewood is, its this little carve out in the center of Los Angeles. Quite a bit different from NYJ NYG. 45 minutes from my house which is better than going to Staples for the Lakers and the Clippers.

I stopped following them after Gabriel left and definitely never liked their move to St Louis. Guess we'll see what they do back in LA?

Madame Ram moved them to St Louis because that was her home city.

 

[jrttoday]

yeah... hard to remember that ancient history :lol: The best I can muster anymore is "ROLL TIDE!!" from my couch!

 

[aspeck]

I still called the the LA Rams from time to time ... back to normal now.

Lot of folks around my neck of the woods were St. Louis Rams fans. Hard to believe St. Louis (which still has $100 million left to pay on the Edward Jones dome) was willing to fork over another $470 million for a new stadium to keep that team. I think the taxpayers of Missouri dodged a bullet.

LA will be inheriting a team that hasn't had a winning record since 2003, with the last ten or so of those years under the current owner, Stan Kroenke. Be interesting to see if his team can turn things around. (Although looking at the record of his NHL team, the Colorado Avalanche, I wouldn't be holding my breath.)

And the Raiders might be moving to San Antonio.

No matter what, only moves are done with the best NFL and owner pocket-lining schemes in mind. They don't care about tradition, fans or saddling cities with debt.

Rams were in LA for 45 years before they got moved to STL. LA does not have to pay a penny for this stadium.

A refreshing break with recent tradition.

After having NYG tickets for 30 yrs, their new stadium introduced PSL's @ $20,000 per seat in my section. In my case, it was the 72,000 seat ticket holders for the NYG and NYJ who built Maradome.

TV money dwarfs ticket sales. If an NFL team had to rely on ticket sales, they would go broke.

 

[angus63]

Not ticket sales in my case. Personal Seat License (PSL) prior to new stadium build. One time up front payment of $20,000 per seat (for my seat location) for both NYG and NYJ season ticket holders. 82,000 seats X 2 teams X $5000 avg PSL = $820,000,000. That's what NYG and NYJ used to build their stadium. Teams (NFL really and it trickles down)do make huge dollars from TV, but not build a new stadium money in one year.
