ALL California teams are not sold out! Look at the Chargers, a better than average NFL team that needs to sell 6,300 tickets by 8/15 to lift the blackout. And, itz that way, every game. Oakland hasn’t sold enough tx, and neither (I believe) has SF. Could it be that it’s not the teams, not the sport….it’s the CA lifestyle. Sunday afternoons are for being at the beach, or out-and-about in CA, not to be stuffed in a stadium where you have to watch the game on TV anyway, pay $8 for a beer, $6 for a hot dog. Then, smell humanity, pollution and be in traffic jams. The best seat in the house isn’t at any stadium.

California for all its glitz has dumps for football venues
——————————————————
That’s because her taxpayers aren’t stupid enough to give owners free money for new stadiums.

Rose Bowl is being renovated by UCLA while the Coliseum, now run by USC, will get a facelift as well.

They’re both incredible college football stadiums with either being a suitable, temporary home while a privately funded state-of-the-art stadium is built in either Downtown L.A. or City of Industry.

I seem to remember reading somewhere that soccer does really well out there and out of the 3 football teams they have only one constantly sells out.

Maybe they are aiming to add a team in the wrong sport?

Pasadena City Council would have to revise that specific law.”

That’s assuming an NFL team could draw 20,000. They might be OK without City Council approval.

It will be the Los Angeles Jaguars. Book it. Shahid Kahn has already begun intentionally tanking the Jags to facilitate the move.
______________________________________

How is Shad Khan intentionally tanking the Jags? Just curious. From what I can see he is doing the complete opposite. New state of the art locker room, new sound system, new jumbotrons next year, etc, etc.

Get them out of Cinncy that place is a dump.

Raiders fans are so Die hard yet they struggle for sell outs. Meanwhile the 49ers have sold out every game for decades. Even through the past several years of mediocracy. Giants, Lakers, Dodgers, Kings, Sharks, and even the Warriors & Galaxy always draw large crowds. For some reason the LA market just doesn’t seem to be built for NFL football anymore

Have the demographics changed enough since the last team exited the area, to now sustain sellout crowds…especially in a very stagnant economy ? I think a few die hard fans are hoping beyond hope for a team move…but…
Nothing suggests a team could weather another long term storm if moved to LA.It is hard not to learn from the past…unless you have your head in the sand !

All 3 teams have played there, previously.
Also, I’d love to see the Rams go back to the plain old blue & white jersey—or even further back to their green & white jersey.

That way, USC and UCLA can split the proceeds.
