NFL fans seek ticket info for LA stadium
INDUSTRY, Calif. (AP)—NFL-starved fans in Los Angeles are already signing up for ticket updates, even though there’s no stadium or a team to play in it.
John Semcken of Majestic Realty Co. said Monday that the stadium Web site has received more than 105,000 requests about general admission tickets, 36,000 about club seats and 3,200 about luxury suites. About 75,000 seats are planned.
Majestic began gauging demand and seeking support about a year ago. Semcken says demand spiked after Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed a bill last month clearing the way for construction in the Los Angeles suburb of Industry.
Semcken says tickets won’t be sold until Majestic convinces a team to relocate to the area.
Los Angeles hasn’t had an NFL team since the Rams and Raiders left in 1994.

Is that all it takes to be middle-class these days. Are those jobs middle-class wage worthy?

Lay off the drugs...
Are you quoting out of a collection of Nostrodomus writings and applying that to the NFL...? or what...?

Here's the final word;
No new team should move into LA or any other part of California -ever.
All current professional sports teams (not including soccer

The ONLY reason we do not have the NFL in L.A. today is because of the rotten ownership of the Rams and Raiders. The Rams sold out for years in L.A. and would have been just fine in Anaheim if the late Georgia Rosenbloom Frontiere actually gave a damn and spent some money on the team instead of on herself. When St. Louis rolled up two or three armored cars full of cash, of course, she left. Al Davis has just plain lost it, but he was actually lied to, and instead of going to Anaheim when the Rams left, which would have made all of the sense in the world, he instead threw a tantrum and went back to Oakland. He and his team should stay there.
Here's what is actually going to happen, people, so learn to accept it. The Rams will return and the Jaguars will be joining them. Because L.A. is a two-team market, and the NFL wants both the NFC and the AFC to have a team here. If the Jaguars get stuck in Jacksonville, then it will be the Bills, only because Ralph Wilson's family apparently does not want to continue on after he dies.
While Toronto would be a good place for an NFL team, it would kill the CFL. The NFL would have to buy the entire CFL just to have a team in Toronto, and what would they do with the remaining teams? Besides, the NFL Players Association wants the CFL to continue so that there is an alternate place for players who can't make it in the NFL, or get suspended from the NFL for bad behavior. So, the CFL has to survive for those reasons alone, at least in the view of the NFL.
It makes no sense for the 49ers, Chargers, or Raiders to move there, and still help the state economy. Even Schwarzenegger can figure that one out, so it will be teams from other states. Besides, the Chargers really seem to want to stay in San Diego, at least according to their spokesman, and the 49ers would NEVER move to L.A. That's like the Giants moving here, or the Dodgers moving there. Hell would freeze over. The Raiders will probably try to come back, but if they do, Al Davis must be made to sell the team by the rest of the league.
Still, after being fooled and led on for 15-plus years now, I will believe the stadium gets built when the construction crews arrive in Industry. But when the stadium is done, there will be TWO teams playing there.
And for the East Coast fools out there who think they run the world, think again. Without California acting as ANY candidate's ATM from EITHER party, no one gets elected to serve in DC. We produce the TV and movies you watch, we create the technology you use, and all your women wish they could be California Girls!
Just because we have to start our playoff games 3 hours early to appease you does not mean that you all always do not die 3 hours earlier than you should!

Al Davis has exposed himself as the money grubbing, no commitment whore that he is. He would probably love to come running back to his old lover because we would have the money he craves.
L.A. would benefit greatly from a new stadium.

They are undersold and underappreciated in Jacksonville.

Nah, screw that, we gotta save the environment!!!! (Sarcasm)
I like the environment as much as the next person, but really, the tree huggers can go bite on this one.
Jacksonville would seem like a good fit for LA, seeing as how no one really cares about them in Florida...that and the fact that I'm sure a lot of Floridians will be more than happy to see the Dolphins as opposed to an undersold Jags TV blackout.
As for the drunkeness, what 32 other cities don't have this problem? It gets dealt with (security jobs, maybe more traffic cops....are the environmentalists so stuck up in their self-important ways that they can't see the multiple benefits here? Good Lord!)
