Large NFL stadiums typically have 4+ locker rooms.

Are at least two of them nice enough to be considered for the home team's room? Older stadiums used to skimp on the visiting team's room in an attempt to further throw them off their game.

Absolutely. Older stadiums also skimped on the home team locker rooms compared to now. But it's mostly the need for stadiums to be multi-use: bowl games, soccer, college teams etc.

CenturyLink in Seattle, not the largest by any stretch, has at least 6 IIRC (Seahawks, Sounders, visiting football, visiting soccer, an additional football and referees).

ESPN reporting Rams are moving. Chargers have a year to join them.

Can you believe teams want to move to LA so bad that they're willing to pay 500+ million dollars each in relocation fees? To think they could spend that on building a stadium in the city they're currently in but that isn't an option because that doesn't result in extortion of cities.

So where are the Rams gonna play in 2016? Rose Bowl? LA Coliseum?
 
Re: NFL 2015.1 - if the ball weighs as much as a duck, it's a catch!

The Rose Bowl has told the NFL where they can stick their footballs.

They aren't going to spend a GD dime on a stadium. Those criminal scum Wilfs will have earned all the money they paid back before the stadium even opens.

Seriously

Have y'all seen the drawing? One whole sideline is stacked with a building of luxury boxes (which are not subject to ticket revenue splits for home/away team sharing).

He should have kept the Raiders in LA instead of moving back to Oakland.

Twenty years ago, nobody in LA was attending games; the Raiders were playing to a half-empty stadium. Why would any owner have thought the game was going to change that much in such a short amount of time? Al made the right choice for his pocketbook at the time.

And if he wasn't comatose in a closet he would have moved back to LA 10yrs ago with a new 6 story luxury box stadium (since he claimed a natural right to return to his home territory there).

Man is he ****ed wherever he be right now :mad:

Since the Rams were picked, does this mean the future stadium plan will be the one the Department of Homeland Security doesn't want in Inglewood?
 
Re: NFL 2015.1 - if the ball weighs as much as a duck, it's a catch!

Sorry, the former Dept. of Homeland Security director issued a report on the two proposed football stadiums, and the Inglewood location was noted as being a "high profile location" due to it's location in the direct flight path of LAX.

Other existing stadiums are as close or closer to their respective airports, but the report seemed to drum up the "9/11!" rhetoric a bit. I just couldn't' remember who the partnering teams were for each location.
