It's mostly a status symbol of wealth and power.

In terms of investments to make, owning a team doesn't yield much of a short term profit. For example, the group that bought the San Francisco Giants in 1993 for $100M has seen the team's valuation increase to $483M.

However, if you're a Billionaire like Bill Neukom, such an increase is arbitrary in comparison to their existing wealth.

Wow, so that's now THREE potential LA-based owners who can give the 49ers a brand new stadium.

Why not move the Chargers to a stadium outside LA and call them the 'Southern California Charger' or something like that?

No. San Diegans love their Chargers too much.

Besides, both the Chargers and the Raiders have spent time in LA. Maybe it's the 49ers' turn!

Can you IMAGINE how awesome the games will be? Jack Nicholson in the luxury suites. Kim Kardashian dating, I don't know, Patrick Willis. Cameos on 'Modern Family'. It'll be AMAZING!
