One prominent owner expects a vote within the next hour or so: "I think we're about there." He seemed quite pleased.

Where are they gonna play while they are waiting for a stadium? I certainly hope they're not staying put as lame ducks.

The Coliseum has said they can take one team but there isn't any other venue that wants to take one. The Rose Bowl already said no. So who knows.

I've confirmed #Raiders agreed to exit "exclusive partnership" with #Chargers. It's #Rams and #Chargers.

So there you go. Just have to wait for official vote I guess. Raiders probably luck out into a better situation.

Is compensation package enough for the Raiders to build new or rebuild the ****hole? Ive always been a Cowboys fan but married into a Raiders crazed family so hard not to follow closely

Sounds like the #Raiders have bowed out. It's #Rams and #Chargers, with details and timing being worked out. In Inglewood

Assuming owners approve it, Inglewood stadium is expected to open in 2019, not 2018 as originally planned. 30 months too tight a timeline.

So whoever goes has three seasons in a temp stadium. Uck.

I had a PSL then was promotly transferred to Seattle before the stadium was ready. I remember going to the San Francisco game at Busch when they were 6 and 0. They got destroyed.

Sure, but your temp stadiums are the Coliseum and the Rose Bowl. Not exactly the Vikings playing in the deep-freeze 50K capacity TCF Bank.

rose bowl not a temp stadium

again, could the chargers stay in qualcomm until inglewood stad is finished? I mean, it's only 120 miles away. about the same as GB to Milwaukee.

As an A's fan this seems like the worst possible outcome. Of course San Jose remains the goal for Wolff/Fisher, but I don't see why the giants would start cooperating now.

Rams to LA, with Chargers getting first crack through Jan 16, 2017, then Raiders have preference, per sources.

So Rams for sure it looks like and SD maybe unless they change then Raiders have the option.

deadspin on the temp stadium situation

Quote:

One team could play at the Coliseum, but USC’s lease with the stadium forbids two professional teams from using. If the Rams do immediately move to Los Angeles this lease will probably have to be rewritten (with a payout to USC), seeing as both the Rose Bowl and Dodger Stadium have taken themselves out of the running for an NFL team.

Official vote was 30-2.

I'm still unsure of the details though.

Sam Farmer ‏@LATimesfarmer 1m1 minute ago
RAMS -- YES
SAN DIEGO -- MAYBE

So kinda what I thought

Rams to Coliseum until inglewood's built is obv. It is their old home base.

edit: Rams did play at Angel Stadium in Anaheim in the early 90s. A team could play there while another plays in the Coliseum?
