I read an article called "VIkings fans, beware: Second L.A stadium proposal just got more attractive". It was written in the Los Angeles Times on 10/11/2011. The NFL stadium controversy in Southern California just got more interesting and competitive. Real estate Ed Roski changed his offer to teams eying relocation. His bid for a stadium in City of Industry has for months been lost in the shadows of a rival proposal next to Staples Center. ROski has dropped his demand for a no-cash minority share of a franchise. Instead he is offering to hand over the 600 acres to any team that relocates there. The team would than finance the stadium he propose, and than sell him a share of the franchise at market rate. Roski says "My goal is to bring football back to Los Angeles, create jobs now, and to create an incredible NFL experience every game day for fans." The stadium is expected to be done by 2014 and he is budgeting $16 million over the next six months to complete construction documents on an open-air stadium built into a hillside. The teams trying to relocate include the Chargers, Raiders, Vikings, Rams, Jaguars, Bills, and the 49ers. The team most likely to relocate is the San Diego Chargers.
I think it would be so stupid for the Vikings to relocate. St Paul is way too big of a market to not have a professional football team. Plus the state of California already has enough football teams. The new stadium proposal does look pretty sweet but it would just be dumb of the Vikings to move. Hopefully a team like the Rams or the Jaguars relocate.
I totally agree with you Nick. I found out the information about the whole Vikings might be moving to California. I was so mad. I couldn't believe that people might be moving the MINNESOTA Vikings to another state. That is so stupid. The stadium is in Minneapolis. We have good profit sales. I really hope they get another team to move out there. I love going to the games here in MINNESOTA!
