L.A. group leader says he sees an NFL return soon
According to Sports Illustrated The front man for one of two Los Angeles-area groups trying to bring the NFL back to the nation's second-largest market believes the city will soon get a team.
First, the league must resolve the labor issue with the players and their union and will wait for a new collective bargaining agreement before focusing on the relocation of an existing franchise.
The NFL hasn't had a team in Los Angeles since the Raiders and Rams left in 1995. Both AEG and Majestic Realty Co. want to build primarily privately financed stadiums and eventually entice a team to move there. Majestic has the necessary approvals to build in a suburb 15 miles from downtown.
For now, though, these are just plans.
Its about time that the NFL finally starts to put a franchise in the second largest city in America. That city has a history of putting together championship teams and Hall of Fame players and its been way to long for Los Angeles to be without an NFL franchise!!!!!
What do you think?
