Still MIGHTY Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Chargers, Raiders propose shared NFL stadium in CarsonThe San Diego Chargers and Oakland Raiders, rivals on the field, are moving forward together on a plan to build a $1.7-billion NFL stadium in Carson that they will share.The Chargers and Raiders will continue to seek public subsidies for new stadiums in their home markets, but they are developing a detailed proposal for a privately financed Los Angeles venue in the event they can't get deals done in San Diego and Oakland by the end of this year, according to the teams.In a statement given to The Times on Thursday, the Chargers and Raiders said: “We are pursuing this stadium option in Carson for one straightforward reason: If we cannot find a permanent solution in our home markets, we have no alternative but to preserve other options to guarantee the future economic viability of our franchises.”The teams are working with “Carson2gether,” a group of business and labor leaders. The coalition will announce the project Friday at a news conference near the 168-acre site, a parcel at the southwest quadrant of the intersection of the 405 Freeway and Del Amo Boulevard.They plan to immediately launch a petition drive for a ballot initiative to get voter approval to build the stadium.---Like the Rams, the Chargers and Raiders are on year-to-year leases in older stadiums. Prospects for new venues in San Diego and Oakland are bleak and, as is in L.A., there is no appetite to commit public money to build a stadium. The Carson proposal calls for the teams to be equal, as opposed to one's acting as landlord to the other.The long-vacant Carson Marketplace site is part of an old municipal landfill and has been the subject of significant cleanup efforts in recent years. The NFL has looked into buying the site at least three times.In the late 1990s, entertainment executive Michael Ovitz wanted to build on that site and bring in an expansion franchise. In 1999, Houston oilman Bob McNair outbid two competing L.A. groups, paying $750 million for the team that would become the Texans.The Chargers and Raiders bought the land from Starwood Capital Group. Barry Sternlicht, its chairman, said of the project: “This is a great opportunity to return professional football to Los Angeles, and we are going to do everything we can to make it happen.” LA Times LinkUhhh... What?So we're gonna have three teams? Is anyone else available to move? Can we get a fourth to complete a Los Angeles Division? Move the entire NFL here. There's enough space for everybody! | ANA | LAA | LAR | LAL | ASU | CSULB | USMNT | USWNT | LAFC | OCSC | MAN UTD | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dfwabel Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I'm actually going to quote Darren Rovell: "Sharing a stadium looks good on paper. Then ask the Giants & Jets how they get along." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackBolt3 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Let's not make the whole "Keep all of the suites on one side" in stadiums a thing.Also, two teams in the same division playing in the same stadium is dumb, yet smart at the same time. I'm very intriguing if this pans out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockstar Matt Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 This is going to be a clusterf***. I can now see why Goodell announced that no team can move to LA in 2015. We could have had potentially three teams announce their intentions to move. Please NFL, let the Rams move first.

FiddySicks Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 As crazy as the Raiders and Chargers sharing a stadium in LA sounds, it also sounds kinda brilliant. What an insane rivalry that's gonna turn out to be if that was the case. It's already pretty fierce, but hoo boy would that be crazy. I kinda wanna see it happen.

LMU Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 On the plus side, I'm already a Charger fan and I wouldn't even need to get on a freeway to go to a game.On the minus side, it's the freaking Raiders.This is like Austin and McMahon joining forces at WrestleMania X-Seven!

pcgd Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 This is a high stakes game of musical chairs. 3 teams simultaneously burning bridges and only 2 can move to LA. This could be amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FiddySicks Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Well, to be completely fair, the Raiders "bridge" is pretty much just a couple of moldy pool noodles duct taped together as it is, so it's not gonna be a huge loss.
