New stadium in LA

another scenario just occurred to me. Someone mentioned Mark Davis wanted to sell the Raiders but wanted to move to LA 1st? If true, he could actually be the 1st team to get to LA. All he has to do is partner with Ed Roski who's stadium plans are the most shovel ready right now, but was lacking an ownership stake. Davis could sell Roski 25% & sell another 25% to Magic Johnson, then give Roski 1st right of refusal to buy out the remaining 50%. Load the moving vans and go. Play a year or 2 in the new stadium while the team value skyrockets and offer the other 50% to Roski. The only hope the NFL would have of stopping it would be if they can get an exclusive contract with both The Rose Bowl and the Coliseum so Davis would have nowhere to play during construction. Short of that, I don't see Goodell having the balls to fight the Raiders AND Magic for public opinion on which team should be in LA.Life is too short to drink cheap beer :beer:

I honestly wish davis would have accepted the aeg deal or the nfl would have let him than there would not be a possibility of any of us occurring at all.

As much as I want these owners to sell their teams to a city friendly owner, I don't think it will happen in any of the three cities. Davis said he's not selling the team (as long as his mom is alive), and then will only sell off just enough to retain control, the Spani obviously have no compelling reason to sell and probably figured out what to do when Alex passes. Kroenke doesn't say anything, but he's into collecting sports teams and his current location means nothing to him. I like the idea of Kroenke selling the Rams if he gets the expansion rights to LA, but the league just seems to like the threat of moving teams around for corporate welfare than expanding. I heard on the radio that the Vikings are only on the hook for less than $100K on a $1.1B project (city idiots!).
