the issue ultimately is L.A. will not get an expansion. The owners agree that 32 teams is enough. So a team would be encouraged to relocate. A couple of years ago this would be the raiders, saints, buffalo and arizona. But arizona got a stadium deal, the saints are the savior's of their city.....so that still leaves basically buffalo and the raiders...maybe the chargers as San Diego is bankrupt and can't build them a new stadium...but there's no way they are moving.

So....LA coming down here would be cool for me personally....but would suck ass for the franchise. It is a bad idea to dump and run on your fanbase.....TWICE. The raiders were never quite the same when they moved from Oakland and the really haven't been the same since the moved back. To move back to LA again would probably do it for the raiders.

However, I miss live football and will attend home games of any team that moves there. I just really hope this stadium gets built...LA needs football!! I would love for the raiders to be back down here..but only for my selfish reasons.
