BigMac12 Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Funny, I read somewhere that somebody bought the land of the old L.A. Sports Arena and wants to convert it to a 20,000 soccer-specific stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfwabel Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Funny, I read somewhere that somebody bought the land of the old L.A. Sports Arena and wants to convert it to a 20,000 soccer-specific stadium.You did not read long enough. Nobody bought the land.USC has a 98-year lease on both the Coliseum and Sports Arena properties and has been thinking of a soccer stadium development on the Sports Arena land as they control parking with a deal with the California Science Center and they do not want to compete with their own on-campus Galen Center for such indoor events.

bosrs1 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Madman, I think Arte and Anaheim are working a deal that will keep the Halos at Katella Ave for a long time to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 I agree. The city dropping their provision that requires the Angels to include "Anaheim" is but an early step.

Gothamite Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 So the Jaguars tried to raise their dismal attendance by offering two free beers with tickets last Sunday, and still couldn't bring in more fans. If my calculations are correct, they're just over the blackout mark, at 88% capacity for their first two games even with whole sections of the stadium tarped off. That's good for That's why they remain in the relocation conversation. Only St. Louis, Tampa Bay and Oakland are worse so far this season, and two of those are also very much in the mix. I feel for the fans - this is truly an awful franchise - but they aren't giving Khan as much time as I hoped they would to turn it around. He seems to be doing his part, but they aren't doing theirs.

Gothamite Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Yes. Lowering the threshold means increasing the percentage given to the visiting team.The Jaguars either lowered their threshold this season or bought up unsold tickets.

Gothamite Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 They can buy them up at 34 cents on the dollar to avoid a blackout - the exact percentage that visiting teams receive.That appears to be what the Jaguars are doing, since their "free beer!" promotion failed to stir much interest beyond the press.

The_Admiral Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 I heard the marketing department staged a coup against the football-ops department and now they're going to sign Tebow. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 If they do that, we'll know just how pathetic the fan situation down there is.Signing a mediocre quarterback solely for his marketing value, over the objections of the people paid to evaluate personnel, is only a half-step removed from giving up altogether. It would be a desperate act, a Hail Mary pass that, if it fails, we could well look back on as a turning point where Khan gave up on Jacksonville. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database!
