Yep, finally found it. I guess they could do really easy and low flyovers during the national anthem. I also didn't know The Forum still existed, what are they going to do with that?
they have revamped that and now hold big concerts there..its a pretty nice venue
Ah, nice. I saw PJ and the Broncos on back to back days in 2014 in Denver, it'd be cool if I could do the same again there!

The question is whether there are 24 owners that agree. I doubt it, especially since that committee was made up almost entirely of owners that I think would favor Carson.

Nine votes that I think will favor Inglewood no matter what: STL, DAL, DEN, NE, BAL, PHI, WAS, ARI, SEA (those last two will fear realignment)
Nine votes that I think will favor Carson no matter what: SD, OAK, CAR, CIN, PIT, NYG, GB, CHI, DET
If Carson does get approved, I think you need to swap the Rams in to assure ARI and SEA that neither will be realigned.

We'd fear for our well-being attending a Raiders home game.

Starting to look like Davis won't be back in Oakland either way. So the Raiders will either move to L.A. or S.A. Whether or not S.A. would be a permanent move or just used as a bargaining chip is another question.

I could see Davis saying to SA, "Look, I'm going to move there, because the Coliseum is such a piece of shit, but understand that for now it's just on a temporary basis. I'll give you the first shot to build a stadium for me while I lounge in the Alamodome, but I'll be talking to other cities as well."

I feel very happy for you, but not so much for my Bay Area relatives who can't stand the Raiders, though. I still hope Oakland stays strong and they have to leave California altogether.

So, I'd say you might just see the Rams for now, or no teams. I think the Chargers will be in L.A. eventually, but may have to stick it out in S.D. for a couple more years.

The Rams should move back, the other two should stay where they are.
