Charlotte Bobcats... and if you wanna go back a ways, the Kansas City Scouts/Colorado Rockies (NHL), Cleveland Barons, San Diego Rockets, and Seattle Pilots.
I've always thought, how come a team can't play at Safeco Field, on a temporary basis? The Lightning played at the Trop for a couple years and made it work. Shouldn't be too hard to maintain an ice plant in a retractable dome.
oh of course they shouldnt have two (unless it were the raiders) but many people were happy to have their rams back, and even more people were happy that they can see their favorite team come to town.
I definitely agree these moves will start to have a negative effect on the league. Like Mark Cuban said, the league will start to implode abit. Lots of bad decisions all around (ie thursday night football)
You're just being emotional. There are Chargers fans here in LA, there's just not THAT many. I know a woman who lives in San Pedro who has been a Chargers season ticket holder for 20 years, driving down 10 times a year. There's also plenty in Orange County.
They'll sell out, even if it's 2/3 opposing fans or non-football fans who just want to go to an event. Their attendance at the 80,000 seat Inglewood Stadium is what I'm skeptical of.
Yeah, and I don't think SF will do much better than the Barracuda, even if it's at the Warriors new arena and not the cow palace.
Also, if that were to happen, the AHL team would have a nicer, newer arena than the NHL team (not that the Tank is bad or anything). How often does that happen?
