Ursa Majoris Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 Is that why they moved the Cleveland Browns? And would you be sad if the Rayders and their thug fans packed up and left? 1449154[/snapback] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiskey Pimp Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 I don't know if this is true with LA as big as it is, but heard it's pretty much a college town football wise ala UCLA and the main pro draw is the Lakers??? 1449156[/snapback] Doesn't it have to be though?

Pope Flick Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 1449189[/snapback] Ok. Agree. It's obvious to any casual observer that the people of LA don't give a rats ass about having an NFL team there, never mind two. 1449139[/snapback] This is wrong. Quite so.

PantherDave Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 Doesn't it have to be though? 1449196[/snapback] True, but didn't USC bring more fans to the coliseum on Saturday's than the Raiders did on Sunday's-curious about that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ursa Majoris Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 Ok.This is wrong. Quite so. 1449200[/snapback] You sure? I think LA holds the record for the most teams leaving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's the owners: Davis and Frontiere weren't liked by the city's folk AT ALL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PLUS, the NFL has never done well selling out 80,000 (much less 90,000 which is what the Coliseum's capacity is) seat stadiums yet it is common practice at over 20 colleges.

tbimm Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 Los Angeles is a joke. Horrible sports town. 2nd largest city in America and cant support an NFL team? Much less 2 NFL teams. Screw them... 1448427[/snapback] This was my exact thought when I read the thread title. They couldnt support the 2 they had then couldnt support only 1. What the F is he thinking? Oh yeah and New Orleans is about to, if they already havent, break theyre alltime season ticket sales and we only have about 200,000 people here and most of them dont even speak english!
