NFL: Proposed L.A. Football Stadium

[trevn]

It's not the butts in the seat that pays the bills for NFL teams its the luxary box sales and corp. partnerships. With that in mind I think the Saints make the most sense to move because I just don't see the corporate dollars in NO as some of the other areas... and if thats the case they will DEFINATELY need a name change...

I agree. NO makes the most sense. As for the name change, I would push for the name of LA's last professional football champion...the LA Xtreme!

I thought that the Vikes were on schedule to have a new stadium built?

Technically they are, Ziggy is funding half of it (500 mill out of 1 billion). They just have to wait till next year for it to be discussed in the legislature. They have the support for it, but just have to wait till the new twins and gophs stadiums are built because Pawlenty said he would veto otherwise.

Here's what Ziggy wants it to look like (bulldoze the dome and play at TCF till new stadium is built). Pics at bottom of page.

Edit: What I've said is from bits and pieces that I've heard and read, thing have probably changed since.

That's the rub, so far the stadium in Minneapolis is just talk.

If LA can get moving quicker - they'll easily lure 'em away if that's their #1 target.

I love how the people of LA complain how they have to drive so far to see a game yet it is just as far for people in Des Moines area to drive to a football game. They should just add more teams. LA and Oklahoma City or Las Vegas.
