Is L.A. getting an NFL team?

[ibarrio]

The "bad LA sports fan" myth is just that -- a myth. Look at the freaking Dodgers. They've had 3 million+ fans every year for as long as I can remember, even though for the past couple of decades they've been completely mediocre.

Fans yes. True They have them. But it is true what they say about them arriving in the third and leaving by the 7th.

There a little problem I don't think the NFL and CFL are merging anytime soon.

The Raiders were actually pretty good while they played in LA. In 13 seasons 8 of them were winning seasons, 2 were .500 and 3 were losing. That's pretty damn good compared to most NFL teams (this is coming from a guy who HATES the Raiders. I give credit where credit is due) So why was attendance so bad? I think it had more to do with the stadium than the team itself. The Colosseum sucks for football, always has, always will. If you build it, they will come. Look at what happened in Phoenix, home of the biggest fair weather fans in the USA. The Cardinals had the worst attendance in the league playing in that uncovered heat magnet, they move to a brand new state of the art stadium without upgrading the team = instant sell outs.

What!?!?!

As much as it pains me to say this,
I hope Oakland loses interest in the Raiders so they can come back to LA. They'll still have the Niners.
