Now that we got ours, who gets a new stadium next, Raiders or Chargers?

I would hate that, but if they got rid of their stupid PSL idea because the Raiders pay for half of the stadium it would be worth it. Then I could get season tickets in a decent location again in the new stadium.

Agreed, except I still can't get season tickets. But if it would make it more affordable for everyone it'd probably be worth it. And that's what I think will happen, and the Chargers will move to the Farmers Field stadium IMO.

I don't think the Chargers stadium is even close at this point. I don't believe they have decided on a final location, have financing or have a time frame. They mostly just talk about for years like we used to....

Diego is a big town, desirable place to live. They really should get it together and figure out a stadium.
Oakland is too small, too poor and too close to SF to warrant a new stadium Additionally the Raiders brand is a disaster. It's associated with thug and gang mentality. I think Al's kid should sell the team to the LA investment group. Then they could put the raiders logo to bed for good, rename and re-brand the franchise completely (as was done to the Oilers to Titans and Browns to Ravens) and basically start over with a new stadium in LA and a franchise that city can embrace as it's own, and heck maybe even be able to take their kids to see a game safely....

Good luck with that......
Not a Raider fan at all, but they have one of the richest historys in the NFL.....
Edit: Did I mention the second largest fan base?
