Front Runners to Move to LA

[BigBucs]

Jags filled up 93.7 percent of EverBank field last year, Bucs fans filled up 75.1 percent of Ray Jay. Also the Jaguars have a lease that runs through 2029 which is impossible to break and Wayne Weaver isn't looking to sell the team.

If u fill 93 percent of the stadium week in and week out that isnt considered a sellout?

one of the reasons the jags exist is because in the days of the USFL, the Bulls were one of the teams with the best fan base/revenue etc, they wanted a team there.

the Jags may be ranked near the bottom of the entire league ,money wise...but its probably because of a smaller market - lesser population etc. they arent a dying franchise by any means yet and well supported by the locals still, but losing can have other effects on ticket sales for any team.

I would be fine with the Chargers moving up there, or the Rams going back. The Vikings leaving Minnesota would be a terrible thing for the league though. That's a devoted fanbase and I would hate to see that happen.

While I agree that it would be awful for the league if the Vikings left MN, that fan base is about as far from devoted as I have come across. MN fans,in general, are as fair weather as it gets. I'm sure there are a lot worse but they are the most fair weather bunch I have experienced in my travels.

Move the Rams back to LA, put the Cardinals back in St. Louis, and get rid of the Jags and the Tampa franchises.

Those teams never should of left in the first place, and nobody gives a fuck about the Jags and the Bucs, not even in their "home" cities. Their college towns, not pro sports towns....

I know a lot of NorCal / Bay Area Raider fans who would be very pissed off if they went down to LA...again. The whole time they were in LA last time my Uncle, who's always been a Raider fan, called them the Los Angeles Traitors, until they came home when he stopped that nonsense. To his credit he still cheered for the Traitors.

its a Southern Ca city thats close to LA, but very close to Irwindale, where plans were/are tentative for a stadium....but for a major market, this is pathetic.

Those plans were just free money for Al Davis. That stadium was never going to happen - even though I think it would be an awesome spot. I prefer the idea of the Stadium in Industry over the one next to Staples/LA Live. That whole Farmer's Field looks lame.

Is better than this:

 

I will say that in a fantasy world, I'd have them build both of those of those stadiums - one NFC and the other AFC.
