San Dee-Ay-Go, make that Los An-Gel-Es, Super Chargers?

There are probably enough Raider fans in LA who will make the 8-hour round trip drive -- or one-hour each-way flight -- for each game to ensure the stadium is full.

LA-area airports are full of Raider fans each Sunday that there is a game in Oakland who fly up for the game and back that evening.

 

California pretty much has. There are lots of Indian reservation casinos in California and while numbers from the tribes are difficult to come by they take in about 80% of the gaming win of Nevada. The California casinos have pretty much destroyed the Reno/Tahoe market and downtown Vegas (both have annual gaming takes below what they made 20 years ago) and are eating away at the Las Vegas strip.
This is what happened last month.

Gee, let me check my wallet.

 

Inglewood stadium project delayed a year because of rainy winter.

Email from the Rams:

We want to provide an update on the 70,000-seat stadium and 300-acre entertainment district being built on the site of the legendary Hollywood Park Racetrack in Inglewood, CA. The stadium will be the home of both the Los Angeles Chargers and Los Angeles Rams as well as feature sporting events, major concerts, and other entertainment year-round.

The development team broke ground last November and since then hundreds of people every day have been working tirelessly on the construction. To date, the stadium bowl is 90-feet deep and fully excavated, with six million cubic yards of dirt removed across the site.

Unfortunately, Southern California experienced record-setting rain this winter. Despite bringing drought relief to the region, the rain fell during the mass excavation period of construction when no other work could proceed in wet conditions. As a result, we experienced significant delays and lost the better part of two months from early January into the beginning of March.

In the best interest of the project, we have decided to move the opening date to summer of 2020. This new target gives us flexibility to accommodate any additional delays that may arise while still delivering an unparalleled experience upon opening. This is a stadium that Angelenos, visitors and world-class athletes will celebrate for years to come, and we are committed to making sure this venue is exceptional from the day it opens.

The development team felt it best to make the decision now, early in the process, to cause the least amount of disruption to our fans, partners and the community later on. We will open the stadium with entertainment and sporting events leading into a full slate of home games for both the Rams and Chargers.

Our promise is to deliver a transformational district that represents a merger of sports, entertainment and real estate that is unparalleled. We owe it to NFL fans, partners of the project, the cities of Inglewood and Los Angeles, and the NFL to get this right. For more information about the L.A. Stadium and Entertainment District at Hollywood Park, visit LASED.com.

 

Inglewood, always up to no good.

 

An extra year of being ignored in the soccer stadium for the Chargers.

 

Lol Chargers.

 

And if he doesn't do enough to warrant picking up his fifth year option, Jared Goff never plays in the stadium he was drafted to fill.

 

Oakland to sue NFL, Raiders over move. Not to stop it, but to recoup some of the money revamping the Coliseum.

WARNING: Cliche overload ahead.

Oakland to sue Raiders, NFL over move to Las Vegas

 

Wow that was terribly written.

 

And, the city is going forward with the suit. Already some speculation the NFL will take the Raiders elsewhere next season.
