I’m not sure where you’re getting your facts, but LA never had three NFL teams. There were only two- the Rams and The Raiders.
The reason the Raiders left was the Coliseum Commission, which is about the worst of the worst when it comes to government bodies, since it represents city, county, AND state interests. The fact is that Raider attendance was better in LA than in Oakland after the team’s return to the Bay Area. It’s sunk so low in Oakland that they’ve had the smallest crowds since the early NFL days.
The Rams left LA because the Coli Commission too. They left Anaheim because of Georgia Fronteriere, who never put a dime into trying to field a good team and was able to get the City of St Louis to bend the taxpayers over to get the team to move. She was originally from Missouri too. Attendance in St Louis has fallen too as the team slid back into mediocrity.
In post 19 you said “The. Chargers started in LA.”
That’s why I said three instead of two NFL teams.
I remember seeing, on TV most games, never a full stadium for most LA Rams and Raiders games when Los Angeles was their home.
The excuse, at the time, was there is too much going on in Los Angeles. That’s why they can’t sell out most NFL games.
I do remember hearing about the old stadium. No one wanted to invest in a new stadium for teams that had trouble selling out games in the second largest city, population wise, in the U.S..
I bet the same thing will happen again. There are cities like Las Vegas, Portland, Salt Lake City, San Antonio and Oklahoma City that would love an NFL team.
The NFL needs to stick a fork in LA it’s done.
