It is very detailed. I do like the fact that it is sunk in. I would much rather walk down to my seats than climb up. By the time you get up to the nosebleed seats in the dome you don't even want to bring your ass back down for anything. That place looks awesome.
The NFL can enforce penalties for a move without approval. They cant force him to stay. I'm sorry but that has been stated, and there is too much prior precedence. Now the perception of whether or not Stan would go to that extreme is up for debate, and that isnt what I am talking about.
If Carson wants to compete with Inglewood they have to come up with something else. When you compare both stadiums it's just not fair. It has a 6,000 performance arts theater thats perfect for the draft. NFL network this and that and we only know the half of it. Slowly and surely Stan is going to release info about the project and by the next owner meetings in May I think will see the final specs and maybe a video idk. Im telling you the backers of the project are in the process of gathering permits to start construction and supposedly they're supposed to have them by December. But the last time I heard mayor butts was last week on radio, he said they might get the permits earlier. Stan has more tricks up his sleeve I wouldn't be surprised if they got the permits and broke ground in September/October.
I don't think they need public money. Isn't it financed by Goldman Sachs?
The only speculation is that it could be upheld. There is too much precedent.
I strongly believe the STL stadium will be built.
That is not known either. Increased swag sales and a bigger TV deal could be in the offing if it is the LA Rams. I'm not saying it definitely would put more money in the other owners' pockets but my guess is that it would over the long haul. Still, I am not sure if that would be a game changer. The overall league benefit has to be there and that is probably Stan's biggest sales pitch to deliver. If he can demonstrate that, he likely gets approval.
Your post says it all.
Yeah, I'm pretty much going off of what I have been hearing on the radio. They dug into particulars that I can't even remember but in the end they believed that the team being in LA would not put any money into the other owners' pockets. They did touch on the tv deal and stated that they already have a tv deal in the LA market and how that wouldn't change much.
Agreed, but at the same time nothing any of us is spitting out is factual. It's all speculation at this point. The sooner this thing is over the better. I was kind of happy to hear that Goodell wanted to move the date up to apply for relocation.
Well one thing everyone can agree on is that the NFL is not consistent. You have Goodell saying that the NFL is not focused on an LA team in 2016 and how he is pleased with Stl's stadium progress and then he turns around and wants to move up the relocation application process to possibly November. This stuff is ridiculous and has everyone's head on a swivel.
Whenever I hear Roger speak to the media I really don't hear him say anything. He just talks. He puts a positive spin on everything. That's his job. We've been through this with him over the years. Rodgers just being Rodger. Same ole same
Amen to that. I just want the whole thing over too. Just stings that after being on these boards for 10+ years I've made tons of friends in St Lou area and Cali, and will probably see some of them go away based on that result.
