Around the NFL - 2016

that would a very highly rated tailgate, so there's that.

I'm not talking about the success of Kronke and Spanos bank accounts

Empty seats and shtein teams with no support will make the NFL look bad

Speaking of the Rams they hired 30yr old Washington OC Sean McVay as their coach

Will they allow tailgating? Will you need a $50 parking pass and a $30 cooking permit for it?

i guess a little? but the owners love spanos and will let him do what he wants. plus the chargers games arent going to be national tv games so when theres terrible attendance nobody will care or see it.

the only way this gets rectified is if someone in san diego can privately finance a stadium and spanos either moves back or sells. and that person must have 2 billion dollars.

i dont think this a big deal in the long run...they are essentially guaranteeing an irrelevant franchise will continue to be irrelevant. more wins for the raiders, chiefs and broncos i.e. real teams with real fans

Like the St. Louis Rams and San Diego Chargers

Chargers tailgate was lame as hell. Gates didn't open until 9am for a 1pm game. You could get in an hour earlier but you has to buy a pass beforehand and I think they were going for like $75.

I think what largely makes Eagles tailgates so great is that like 95% of the parking isn't owned/controlled by the Eagles.

[SD]

I only went to one Chargers game and I lived there for 9 years. There's not a great core of fans and everyone is from somewhere else. Still it's a major city and the Padres got Petco built do I don't see why getting a new football stadium is that hard.

[Sgt PSN]

Petco is downtown and you know as well as anyone that SD doesn't have all that much available real estate.  Not to mention that downtown stadiums for baseball are fine, but kind of blow for football because it kills tailgating because instead of having 1 big stadium lot, you get a bunch of little satellite lots.

If there's 1 farging thing in this world that Philly did better than everyone else, it's their sports complex.  It really is the best I've ever seen. #nohomer

[QB Eagles]

In the eastern cities with old money and advanced (read: corrupt) political machines, stadiums have a way of being built with tax dollars even if the voters repeatedly reject the proposals, like what happened in Pittsburgh.

On the west coast where direct democracy plays a bigger role in state and local budgets, there aren't as many mechanisms to blow off election results and there is little public interest in transferring tax dollars to billionaires. So you see teams leaving perfectly fine cities like Seattle, San Francisco, and San Diego. And slightly less fine cities like Oakland.

Chargers fan egging headquarters

If Lurie ever moved the team the NovaCare and Lurie's house would probably be torched

[Rome]

There's zero chance the Eagles would ever move.

[PhillyPhreak54]

I know but if they or any legacy team did there'd be more than eggs being thrown

[SD]

The one good thing the guy in France did was buying the team and keeping Tose from moving the Birds to Arizona

Braman really had nothing to do with the the team staying. It was all worked out between Tose, the city, and the NFL before Braman was in the picture. Without Braman, there would have been other buyers that would have kept the team in the city.

If anything, thank the media for breaking the story because I think Tose was plotting a midnight surprise similar to what the Baltimore Colts did. The news allowed other people to step in and smack Tose around a little until he sobered up and agreed that maybe he shouldn't be an NFL owner anymore.
