Don’t worry it won’t happen. LA is too useful as blackmail, that emptiness has caused many stadiums to be built. And some are getting close to time for replacement.

Winner, winner, chicken dinner. We're too valuable of a bargaining chip to pass up.

Exactly. 30 NFL owners loose their leverage to shakedown the local potentates. None of them will ever allow a team to locate in LA.

Since the NFL vacated LA, look at what happened to the average value of an NFL franchise. It’s over $1 billion now.

The next biggest metro area after LA without a football team nearby is Portland, Oregon - and no one will build a stadium if the threat is the Portland Bengals, Portland Vikings or Portland Bills.

That was what they said about returning Major League Baseball to Washington, DC.

The Rose Bowl is the worst stadium; it’s made to pack in fans and nothing more.
