How nice is it that we aren't included in that conversation any longer!
Majestic chief executive Ed Roski, a billionaire, has vowed to build the stadium without any public support beyond the $150 million bond measure by Industry to pay for infrastructure improvements, which the developers plan to repay through ticket sales and parking fees.
Majestic has targeted seven teams it plans to approach after the Super Bowl in February about move to the Los Angeles area: the Buffalo Bills, Jacksonville Jaguars, Minnesota Vikings, St. Louis Rams, San Diego Chargers, Oakland Raiders and San Francisco 49ers.

I think so, as well

Yeah I'd say Jacksonville is the best bet of those.
If the Bills relocate it'll probably be to Toronto

Thank Bobby Jindal and Judah Hertz.
Judah did get a decent deal though.

I'm hoping it's the Rams.
St. Louis Rams still doesn't sound right to me.

Neither does Arizona Cardinals, though

Probably having the worst issue with ticket sales and business sponserships out of any team in the NFL.
It was kind of a small market and the business downtown has hit Florida very bad.
The local people will not get to see any home games on tv this year because most likely no sellout games.

I hope that's a joke.
Jax has had problems selling out the stadium for several years now and is in danger of being blacked out for their entire set of home games this season between the economic downturn and the declining quality of the team.
They've been tarping off huge sections of the stadium for years in order to lower the number of tickets they need to sell to qualify as a sellout and they still can't pull it off this year.

1. Their owner doesn't want to sell
2. Their owner doesn't want to leave Jville
3. Their owner feels that Tim Tebow will solve attendance problems

The Bills aren't going anywhere until Ralph Wilson either sells or dies. The former isn't likely AFAIK, but the latter could happen at any time and his heirs would want to sell the team.
The Jags are a likely candidate for a move somewhere, but they would have trouble being accepted by the LA fans even with former UCLA star Maurice Jones-Drew as the face of the franchise.
The Vikings want to stay in Minnesota and are believed to be close to a deal to get a new stadium.
The Rams will depend on who the new controlling owners are. If there are few people with ties to St. Louis in the prevailing group, they're likely to explore a move back to LA.
The Chargers are a distinct possibility because they're a Southern Cali team and have been unhappy with their stadium for years. It would be a return home since they played their first season as the LA Chargers before moving to San Diego for the AFL's second season.
The Raiders are another distinct possibility between their history in LA and Al's unhappiness with the stadium in Oakland.
The 49ers aren't as likely, IMHO, because they're working on a new stadium to be built in Santa Clara. The only way they leave San Fran for LA is if the stadium funding for Santa Clara gets killed but not the funding for the stadium in City Of Industry.

Why not just move the USC Trojans into the pro ranks. After Notre Dame they are the greatest team to ever play the game.

This is a good post. The Jags, Raiders, and Rams are the only real possibilities. The Jags are selling about 45k tickets a game = unsustainable. The Raiders should never have gone back to the Oakland shithole, and the RAMS were the LA team for years and never should have moved to Orange County or St.Louis.

Rams or Jags

Why? Did you read the entire post, or just rush to type your sarcastic comment before you read past the title?
