Rams, Raiders, Chargers were all moved out of LA, if the money is right any of them would pick up and move back.

But I think Jacksonville would be most likely to move out west

Vikings Bills 49ers...no way

I think the owners want to put a new team in LA so they can charge an arm and 2 legs for the franchise rights. How much did the Texans owner have to pay the NFL for his franchise? Of the teams listed Jacksonville will be the first to move then Buffalo to Toronto.

good point......your right but I don't think the name would stay the same.

And yes with marijuana you want to eat lots of pie.......I meant by getting into the business and getting me some of that money. Lots of black market money not being taxed on the west coast. A lot peeps here would rather smoke than drink.......big dollars, I also happen have experience! lol......Marc Emery got me started off on the right foot:) Had to stop after getting divorced though, ex is a spiteful mean bitch. Would be different once decriminalized and legalized. money!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not sure if any will, Sophandros I think keeps saying that nobody will move to LA because then the NFL will lose the biggest bluff, but I say eventually a city will call the bluff.
quote:

Buffalo Bills

I think they're more likely to go to Toronto
quote:

Jacksonville Jaguars

Most likely IMO, can't sell out. I think in 2004/2005 ESPN said they've only had like 2 sellouts in their stadium
quote:

Minnesota Vikings

doubt it,Minneapolis has already built a new stadium for UM, and a stadium for the Twins, I think Minnesota can at least get a renovation if not new stadium
quote:

St. Louis Rams

seeing as they moved there from LA, I doubt they would get much support there, I know they have a new owner now, but from what I heard, their old owner drove the team into the ground so she could move them to St. Louis
quote:

San Diego Chargers

possible, don't know too much about their stadium situation though
quote:

Oakland Raiders

see St. Louis Rams and multiply by 20000000 since it's Al Davis
quote:

San Francisco 49ers

thought they were building in Santa Clara, but I don't think they would move to LA

I agree. Those are old school clubs and moving them would cause quite an uproar that I'm sure the league would rather not handle. I would hate to see any of those teams in LA.

Still, you never know for sure. At one time it was unfathomable to think of the Cleveland Browns or the Baltimore Colts moving away. All it takes is a douchebag owner and/or a lot of money.

I think the NFL has stated they have no plans to expand anytime soon.

To modify my prediction:

- Rams move to Los Angeles.
- Jaguars move to Saint Louis.
- Jaguars and Panthers switch places so keep the two Missouri teams in opposite conferences.
- Switch Indianapolis and Baltimore because having Indy in the south is stupid.
- New line-up:

AFC East - Buffalo, Miami, New England, New York
AFC North - Cincinnati, Cleveland, Indianapolis, Pittsburgh
AFC South - Baltimore, Carolina, Houston, Tennessee
AFC West - Denver, Kansas City, Oakland, San Diego
NFC East - Dallas, New York, Philadelphia, Washington
NFC North - Chicago, Detroit, Green Bay, Minnesota
NFC South - Atlanta, New Orleans, Saint Louis, Tampa Bay
NFC West - Arizona, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle

I live about 10 minutes from that site and they have paid off every small city that surrounds the area to get the stadium okayed......Stadium will not be built until a team has made a commitment to move here....There is an articl in SI about Ed Roski (billionaire) who is paying for the stadium......no public funds at all

Industry is appropriately named; it is a significant industrial and commercial center. The place is also a foreign trade zone and a massive amount of Chinese money and investment flows through there.

A billion dollars give or take 100 million convinces owners to change their plans. If someone moves their team to LA before a franchise is granted , I don't think the franchise fee will be nearly as large as if it is exclusive.

St. Louis. Don't think a lot of fans in Eastern Missouri or Western Illinois would be too upset. STL is baseball country. Football is just to get them by during the Cardinals offseason.

Rams belong in L.A.!

You are correct...outside of the commerce and trade the neighborhoods are terrible......lots of gangs, and low lifes......The 57 FWy and 60 FWY (stadium site) borders Orange and L.A. counties...and virtually vacant.......good area for a stadium......lots of freeways, parking and away from residential areas......so far Roski has paid out over 25 million to get the neighboring cities to buy off on most potential problems....

Social Tiger do a lot of people in L.A. want the NFL back. I hope L.A. gets a team, they deserve one in a city that size.

Indianapolis and Baltimore are basically at the same latitude. I think it would make more sense to move Indy to the North, Baltimore to the east, Miami to the south. That's just if you want to do it by geograhy though. I'm more in favor of keeping traditional rivals.
