Stan Kroenke's NFL stadium proposal for L.A. would house 2 teams

LOS ANGELES — An NFL team owner has designed a Los Angeles-area stadium for two clubs — with two home locker rooms, identical sets of office space and two owners' suites.

St. Louis Rams' owner Stan Kroenke doesn't need to partner with a second team to finance the $1.86-billion venue in Inglewood, but the league considers Los Angeles a two-team market and wants a stadium that could accommodate both, according to the Los Angeles Times.

His plan competes with one by the San Diego Chargers and Oakland Raiders, who want to share a stadium in Carson.

Kroenke hasn't said he plans to move the Rams, but analysts doubt he would invest in a stadium and not use it for his team....

It's getting curiouser and curiouser. Rams and Raiders or Rams and Chargers?

considering these parks are used by their respective teams just eight times a year, plus whatever special events and NCAA games it could draw. The teams makes sense too since Rams and Raiders have a history in L.A. and the Chargers are a few hours south.

No way the City of Oakland or County of Alameda will fund a new Raiders Arena. I think it's inevitable the Raiders will be relocating.
