With growing rumor and gossip about the NFL moving a football team to L.A, many have speculated if it could work. The L.A., Rams, and Raiders have failed in the city of Angels, but could the right owner pull it off?

Old news, we had a big discussion on this last year about this in the NFL thread... Here is the layout and website for the stadium:

It's not even going to be in LA, it's going to be in Ponoma... Haha Also Magic Johnson also sold all his laker stock cause he wants to own it for what LA got which was 800 mill...
Well farmers field just makes sense, with LA live already built. Anyway as far as football goes i don't really care. Just my opinion but i think only the raiders would fill the stadium consistently. There were rumors that the dodgers could move their to save their franchise, but really though fuck baseball. This LAstreetcar, more retail/hotels, more development would be welcomed
Fuck Trey Songs
As long as it's not the Chargers going I'm cool. It would most likely be the Rams though.
Well, I've been following this whole development (NFL in LA in general) for the past couple of years now. Los Angeles Stadium is an easier project to carry out and probably less harsh on the traffic environment of Downtown Los Angeles but Farmers Field is way further in development as far as pre-production and city recognition goes.
The benefits (new convention center, even more business for L.A Live, more residents and consequently more revenue in Downtown Los Angeles, twice as many jobs as Los Angeles Stadium would provide) of Farmers Field FAR outweigh whatever traffic concerns the city may have.
When we were thinking about building the Staples Center (and later L.A Live) in the late 90's people were worrying that it would congest Downtown Los Angeles, and it never did. Getting in and out of Downtown on the night of a Lakers game is easy. Plus, NFL games would be held on Sunday (sometimes Monday), the week's lowest traffic day.
Right now, as it stands, Farmers Field is the frontrunner in getting approved, the real estate team (AEG, who also built the Staples Center) behind them has just been making a better effort at getting the thing to actually happen.
The only way I see Farmers Field not being built is if the city doesn't approve of it because of environmental concerns, such as pollution concerns or if the blueprints violate some sort of code and is unfixable.
Buffalo Bills till I die.
los angeles stadium has already been approved and could start getting built today.. all that's needed is a team.
id want this stadium over the downtown one. you'll get a true football experience from the los angeles stadium. it just makes more sense..
LA has had teams and has proven to fail supporting them long term...nothing will change this go-around.
Just leave my Bills in Buffalo and it's all good
LA doesn't deserve a NFL team.
Except this is 16 years later and L.A Live exists now and is doing a great job, not to mention Downtown LA is not the same grimey area that it was 15 years ago...
Do you not understand that building a new stadium IN LOS ANGELES would attract so many fans and it will be impossible to get tickets the first few years after the stadium is built? It's going to be the hot thing to attend in LA suddenly.
Why do you think 5+ teams (including your Bills) are considering relocating? It's because fans don't enjoy their shitty stadium/area surrounding the stadium.

The second biggest market in America doesn't have a franchise in the most popular sport, that speaks more about the fans in Los Angeles.
Please don't speak on this matter you have no idea what you are talking about and you clearly have no idea about the situation the Bills are in.
if they suck no one is going to show up. LA is fair-weather for the Lakers and they are a historic franchise. And why should some city lose their team because California needs another team?

The Jaguars also could be in the mix, despite consistent denials from owner Wayne Weaver of any interest in moving the team or selling it.
