LAT: Rams & Chargers coming to LA - Kroenke's Inglewood Stadium Proposal

[Lhalo]

That's what they are saying which is why I figure they will negotiate some deal where it is near 50/59

They're impeccable negotiators if they can work out a deal with those numbers.

[nate]

50/50 whatever

Interesting piece from Yahoo on how Kroenke used his wealth to force his way to LA.

A city loses a team, a billionaire gets richer. A true heartwarming story. Seriously though....are the Rams going to go back to their blue/yellow color scheme now? If so, I'm in.

[gotbeer]

Here is food for thought.  Do the Spanos or Davis' have $1 billion dollars to give to Kroenke for their share of the stadium?  There is no public funds to help bail them out of this one.  They probably both don't want to be tenants. 

 

And for the Raiders, it will be even more difficult.  Because it'll be a year before they even get the option.  And when they do, Kroenke can really tighten the screws on them.  At least right now, the Rams and Chargers can negotiate something equitable since nothing really started yet.  But a year from now, when they are in full swing of construction.  Raiders will have very little say in anything. 

[nate]

Yeah, good point.  Since Kroenke is paying for 100% of this, the Chargers would have to pony up half.

 

Maybe not half if their investment is just the stadium and not all the surrounding developments.

[Brandon]

Reading some articles it seems kind of boss. The second richest owner in the NFL threw his wallet around.

[nate]

Dude is worth nearly 8 billion and he is married to a Walton that is worth another four or something.

 

Also they are saying that this will increase the value of the rams from ~800m to ~4b

[Chimi]

I think this whole deal is more because of Jerry Jones than it is of Kroenke. As more info comes out, it just shows how powerful Jones is when it comes to the NFL Owners and how much pull he has in their decisions.

[UndertheHalo]

Im an Eagles fan (somehow it happened don't ask) so I can't really bring myself to give to much of a shit about this.  That said, this should serve as a warning to what real greed and shit faced ownership looks like.  All of 3 of these fan bases are getting ****ed bad on this.  All it takes is a 20 year old stadium a mid market town and owners like Stan Kronke and Dave Spanos.  Thank god I never got into a local NFL team.

[Brandon]

Yeah, I feel bad for the 27 Chargers fans that go to games.

[gotbeer]

Written a year ago.

 

What about that Spanos money?

 

This was in November of 2015.

How Much Is Each NFL Owner Worth?

 

Also remember, the relocation fee is $500 million, on top of however much they have to invest in the stadium.  I don't know if the Chargers or Raiders can afford to move now that Kroenke is firmly established. 

[Brandon]

The fee is paid back in 10 years though. I think they make more than the 500 too, when all is said and done.

[Jay]

The Carson location would have been better IMO.

[nate]

How is that?

 

The Kroenke plan is better in just about every way.

[Jay]

The location is better

[Kenny]

The St Louis fans are out in all their butthurt force. Same fans curse Pujols and the Angels.

The Rams are ours. They don't get to be mad at us. Be mad at Kroenke, he obviously doesn't give a f---. Be mad at Jerry Jones, who seems like a puppet master.

So is the theory that Jones forced Kroenke out of St Louis, and then also helped keep the Raiders from moving?

[The Ghost of Bob Starr]

I bet the chargers stay permanently in SD.   They have until March to decide if they play in LA this year or not, then that Jan 2017 deadline, before the criminals can come back.

[Tank]

They're impeccable negotiators if they can work out a deal with those numbers.

 

so that's what they mean by giving 110%.

 

or in this case, 109%.

[Tank]

reports from yesterday said that the chargers have a ballot initiative this june (?) about receiving $350 mil from the city. if that passes, plus the $100 mil the nfl promised them, it cuts down on their cost for a stadium by quite a bit. that could make it more attractive to them to stay. i'm sure teams would rather have their own stadium instead of sharing one with another team (hello, clippers fans!).

 

if the chargers stay in SD, then the raiders have the option of moving down to LA. their owner desperately needs/wants a new stadium, and he's willing to travel to get it. remember there were rumors a year ago that they were looking at san antonio. their owner is in a tight spot because they don't even have a lease in place for this next season with their own stadium.

 

i have very strong feelings against the raiders returning here. i hope whatever needs to happen for them to stay in oakland happens.

[Angel Oracle]

Let the Raiders move to St.L. then.

Stadium in place already, with a $1.1 billion one proposed, and while that's not L.A. worthy it is infinitely better than the mess they face in Oakland.

[Thomas]

The San Antonio/Austin/San Marcos is a really untapped market if you can get around Jerry Jones.

[Stradling]

So who else will be getting season seats in 2019?

[bloodbrother]

You know the NFL is going to put the Rams on SNF or MNF at home to open the year in 2016

[ELEVEN]

From what I hear, the Spanos don't want to be some tenant of Kroenkie (sp at 4 in the morning?) and his building.

Can't help noticing the time was actually 4:20
