LA NFL Franchise?

[Bullaholic]

It's amazing to me that LA has gone this long without an NFL franchise. I wonder if/when LA will get a team? How many other NFL franchises are considering a location change?

I have always been lost since the Oilers went to TN, the Colts to Indy, the Rams to St. Louis, the Cardinals to Phoenix, and the Browns to Baltimore.

rumor has it it could be the vikings that move out west. a few others teams in the mix....interesting stuff

If Minnesota wins it all, I don't see the city letting them leave. I don't think Minnesota goes West. Teams I could see in the mix could be Detroit, Carolina, Seattle, Jacksonville, and Buffalo

Detroit just got a new stadium, and Carolina has a very strong fan base. Seattle has a new-ish stadium (less than 10 years old), so they're not going anywhere.

If the NFL doesn't expand, if LA gets a team, it's probably going to be either the Vikings or Jaguars.

LA has a pro team: the USC Trojans.

I remember growing up watching the Los Angelas Rams.

I read somewhere that LA is courting three teams. I heard Baltimore, San Diego, and San Francisco. Don't know if it is true or not.

IMO, LA had their opportunity with the 32nd team expansion. Yes, LA is a huge profitable market, but does the people of LA really want the NFL? They haven't proved that they have in the past. Otherwise, the Rams and Raiders would still be calling LA home. And, Houston wouldn't have gotten the 32nd franchise. I could see Jacksonville relocating there or Buffalo (but, Buffalo has been and is still a good market for the Bills.) But, honestly, the LA 49ers? LA Ravens? LA Chargers?

Ever heard of the baltimore ravens?

LA people don't support pro football. Pro basketball or college football, yes. Pro football, no.

England will get a pro team before LA is what I heard on the radio a few weeks back

Baltimore was 7th this year in attendance..San Fran was 12th

Baltimore sold out 100%..San Fran 99.3%

I do think SD could be targeted, but I would be shocked about the other 2

Baltimore's owner is from Baltimore, born and raised.
