Lumi, I honestly don't know. I never would have thought that, and still don't think the team will move, but the legislative outlook here has always been a deterrent. Especially now. I am worried, but hope the negatives in moving the team might help things along.
What I know:
? The NFL wants a team here. I think we're the #14 market in the league.
? There would be options to sell the team to local investors (from what I've heard) if a deal cannot be worked out on the stadium.
? There is nothing definite available in Los Angeles at the moment, although plenty going on there now.
? There are other teams the NFL would prefer to move there that are not well supported.
What I'm worried about:
?*The NFL is probably getting fed up with the BS going on here. And there's nothing solid to think it will get done this year, especially with such a short time remaining in the session. A special session has been talked about to focus on the stadium.
? There will be plenty of suiters in other areas that would love a team.
? People here are getting worn out with the situation, and there are plenty of people that don't give a shit about football and especially about publicly funding it.
? Economically and politically, it's a terrible time to try to spend a bunch of money on anything, especially "elective."
I don't know. It's frustrating. I'm less sure they will stay than I was, but if I had to bet I would bet they will somehow stay here.
