Your're completely wrong. Minnesota is past history, San Diego is now so look at what they're saying. Stop using out of date and incorrect information
LOL WOW

Oakland isn't going to fund their stadium, its not even close to viable.
It's already been said San Diego's stadium isn't going to be well received because of how much they're asking from the team (almost $500 million, and yes that includes rent because that is money out of their pockets, and $700 million if you want to include the G4 loan since you say Kroenke would have to pay $450 million in st.louis w/ g4 loan) as well as other issues
The Riverfront stadium's only issue is the bonds - and depending on how you think the outcome will be in court really depends on how viable you think it is. I don't think it will be an issue since they lost before, and it only sounds like they're pumping their chest. Of course if the funds fail, then Kroenke is free to move and the stadium is non-viable.
It's old and outdated, plus not from the NFL. You refuse to look at the way they are classifying the funding. What is happening in SD and what are they saying about the funding?
I've already posted the break down for SD - go back and look at my post for their financing break down. $242 in public money.
The Peacock statement is not outdated- nothing has changed since then.
And Vikings.com is the closest thing you're going to get to the NFL. The file is hosted on that website, which is linked directly to their team page on NFL.com. Just like http://www.stlouisrams.com/
Like it or lump it, its $400 million in public money. And its not like time is going to change the tax credits on any of those public funding deals. That's how the NFL views it, hence under public funding. There's no other way around it.
Sorry your not correct. The land sale is public money. You still refuse to look at what is being said in other markets now. Minnesota has no relevance to anything that is going on now. Goldman said about CSAG's proposal that the tax credits come from Chargers revenues and it's just like the 100 million tax on beer and hot dogs. Brownfields Tax Credits are environmental cleanup and NO ONE is saying that the bonds in Carson is public money for the stadium.
And you refuse to read what I posted - what I posted was not funding for the stadium, but all the stadiums they've covered during that time period. Those deals don't change over time; public funding is public funding, period. It's not coming from the NFL nor private investors, a lot is from taxes, which they clearly count as public funding.
Disagree as you may - they indicate otherwise
2/3 = 24 Owners??2/3 vote?
No he needs 24 owners to say yes; you can already count 2 are saying no (Spanos & Davis)
There ya go! Makes sense Paul Allen would be the richest! lolHe's the second richest owner, behind Seattle's Paul Allen.
In terms of cross ownership, Stan got an extension, but he needs to inform the league how he plans on fixing the issue by June and have it fixed by later in the year (October or November?)... Of course he could always say "I'll stay in St Louis if you waive that rule indefinitely" but I'd say he's going to move it over to his son or something.
it's not even about that - it's as simple as the threat of moving to a larger market (Think Oakland to San antonio for example).
$400 million is one of the highest offers from a public city. If the NFL is willing to give a city the finger and go fund their own public stadium, why should another gov't be willing to pony up? Do you really think the NFL wants to go through another relocation era like the 90's?
I get yuh man and I apologize for getting a bit chippy. I just want this whole thing to be done. I think it is wearing on all of us.I just completely disagree. As you said, we've been over it before. There are certain base things we just are not going to agree on.
There ya go! Makes sense Paul Allen would be the richest! lol
I hear yeah... rules for the rich are made to be broken... I see one way or another things are going to get thrown into his favor. I see him (Kronke) holding all the cards tbh.

I don't know if Kroenke holds all the cards, but I think he holds a lot of them. Ultimately if he feels necessary, I wouldn't be shocked if played dirty. I also would say if he starts construction on the stadium, then the point of no return has been reached, and he's going. Which is why the NFL is smart to move up the relocation date, if you're gonna tell him no, you gotta do it before December.
Ultimately I think he'll do enough to woo Goodell to his side, which would bring over the vast majority of owners and give him the go ahead. It's not a done deal, but it is the best one on the table now. It's just harder to justify the Rams moving than the Chargers or Raiders. The NFL has already somewhat set themselves up to handle that, but its still not an easy a sell.
We'll see how it all goes down, I for one will be excited when it's all over. We're about halfway through now, and it feels like an eternity.
I don't even really think there is anything to debate. It is all to clear what's going to happen and what's happening.
That's going to happen regardless with fans from one party or another I think which is sad to say in the near future. I don't envy the moderators job this upcoming year, it's going to be hard.As much as I love seeing all the info and knowledge passed around on this, I think it might be time to close it to updates only. Nobody is getting anywhere on this. And I don't want to see people getting banned or leaving because of something they can't control. Just my opinion, of course.
Pretty funny. I feel so sorry for him. Friggin dork."You know, we want a winner -- and at any cost,” said El Cajon resident Dennis Cooley. “So I think it's time for a new team. Hiring good people. Gotta get a new ownership in here at get a winner on the field."
What I see here is what I have understood to be the case all along. Spanos is trying to get a stadium for as close to zero Spanos dollars as possible.A tiger isn't gonna change his stripesThis plan is viewed by some as a potential starting point for working out a stadium plan that all parties can agree to that would also keep the Chargers in San Diego. In previous discussions, the team's ownership has been reluctant to contribute more than $200 million to any stadium project, and the NFL has sought a funding formula that splits the cost more evenly between the team and league and local, public funding sources.
Isn't $100 Million going toward paying off the dome? Also, everything is an estimate and is fluid in both cities. St Louis estimates the land cost and funding sources. SD estimates the land value and funding sources.its $400-$450 million in St.Louis, and you keep ignoring the fact that the San Diego deal is an estimate, it's not a lock deal. You don't know if someone is gonna buy that land for $225 million.
Not sure I feel like stopping it at this point. If members get too wrapped up in acting like they know everything or start lashing out at other posters, either I will deal with it or one of the other moderators will step in.As much as I love seeing all the info and knowledge passed around on this, I think it might be time to close it to updates only.
