Chargers, Raiders discuss plan to share new stadium in Carson

Chargers, Raiders propose shared NFL stadium in Carson

 

With the Rams saying that this plan doesn't affect their future plans, Los Angeles could go from having no teams to having three.

This to too ****ing hilarious. The NFL is a ****ing clownshow. Saying they control who goes where, but we all know they have no control at all. ****ing Clownshow.

Three teams would be epic. I'd get the Chiefs here every year.

Twice!

This idea blows and sucks.

No.

Two football teams in the same stadium makes sense. There are only 8 home games per season, this would raise that to 18 regular season games. A better chance of getting a return on the structural investment.

The Raiders and Chargers are not those two teams, the fan bases already hate each other and it drops two AFC teams into the same market.

Since they're division rivals they get a travel-free road game every year. Bonus

[Blarg]

More savings for the two clubs. And there will never be a playoff scheduling issue because, well, Raiders.

One of the two teams would apparently have to go the NFC West.

Prediction:

Rams and Chargers will get their new stadiums in their current cities. Oakland will be stuck in their current stadium.

One of the teams would have to change conference. A report out of Indy said it would be the Raiders. Also the NFL will only allow at most 2 teams so it will probably be deciding between the two plans.

But either way the stadium would hold 16 home games and not 18. Still better than 8.

I hate getting my hopes up

I love how they say there is a rivalry.  This series has been lopsided for well over a decade.

I would fly in just to be at a Charger/Raider game.  It would be a very interesting crowd.

Al davis would roll over in his grave if the raiders joined the nfc

He never wanted the merger with the nfl to begin with

And boy was he right about that! Think about how much better the Raiders and football in general would be if there wasn't the merger.

Maybe the raiders can join the mountain west conference

if by interesting you mean "i would not want to attend a game with lots of gangsters and convicts", then yes, you are completely right.

Sorry, the MWC has standards.

[Chimi]

So would the Seahawks go back to the AFC West if the Raiders made the swap to the NFC?

Imagine a division with the Seahawks, Broncos, Chiefs, and Chargers. Talk about tough.

[Brandon]

I'm sure the NFL wants different conferences, but was reading an article that basically said all three teams could move to the same stadium if they want. The precedent was set when Al Davis took the NFL to court on antitrust laws and won to move the team from Oakland to LA in the 80s. The same thing could happen again. Owners are free to move their teams wherever they want, the NFL would have to work around them opposed to the owners having to work within NFL parameters.

I keep hearing these Rams rumors, where would they go? DTLA? Industry?
