the city of st louis spent $3 million of public funds on the proposal that was for sure gonna be rejected

St. Louis been getting shit on by the NFL, city has lost 2 NFL teams in the last 30 years lol that's crazy.

Kind of the cities fault at the same time though. St. Louis is a top 15 populated metro area in the country, yet they have the lowest attendance of any team this year and have been bottom 3 for the last decade in a stadium that seats 66,000 for football.

Good info. I lived in SD from 04-07, and they were trying to get a new stadium then and the city got worse and worse financially as far as the City of San Diego government. They were gonna move to Chula Vista, then Carlsbad was a rumor if I remember, now this. Very few people I knew in SD wanted to spend city money on a stadium. A significant portion of people in SD are not originally from there, so that probably doesn't help.
You nailed it, bro. Born and raised but since early 2000's when it was said SD is no longer getting a Super Bowl until we get a new stadium I knew this day would come. I'm just tripping out because a rumor from a year ago about the Raiders moving in to SD is getting thick out here. I guess Goodell and our Mayor had a 1 on 1 and Goodell told him he does want an NFL team in Daygo but whatevers. I'm just pissed cuz I'm not trying to drive to LA to see a game with my son. Fuck that and the Raiders

A bunch of reporters are tweeting the Chargers agreed to terms with the Rams to share the stadium today. Now Spanos just needs to decide if they're going in 2016 or 2017.

The LA Chargers are now official.

Looks like they're staying in San Diego for 2016 guaranteed and said they made a deal with the Rams to move to LA in 2017 if San Diego doesn't come up with a new stadium plan by the end of next season.

We vote for the stadium in November. If we have another shitty season, fairweather fans will vote no for sure.
Damn that sucks. If the vote was to go down now, or by preseason it would probably pass because of the current outrage and passion for the topic right now.

The elections will be around week 9, if you ain't at least .500 yall might be done for.

there is something in the LA coliseum by-laws that only allows usc and 1 other team to play there. they gotta get that taken care of.
Yeah, it sucks the Rose Bowl won't let an NFL team play there for whatever reason.

They might be able to make a deal with one of the baseball stadiums if the LA Coliseum won't budge for a 2nd team.
