woah.. what? i saw that deadline was met but don't know what that means entirely.


We also didn't bother sending anyone to represent us or hear any of the talk at some big meeting today regarding the new stadium in L.A. so imo it looks like all our eggs r being put in the oakland basket

Warriors winning a championship probably has a lot to do with this.

Over 1.1 million people in Oakland for the parade last Friday. It was amazing.

Nah, I'll be back in the bay in a month though.

I've actually also been fortunate enough to land myself a job where I'll be at the O.Co on a lot of Sundays over the next 6 months ;)

Quote
At a time when San Diego is struggling to build a stadium that will keep the Chargers, Carson isn’t having the easiest time when it comes to building a stadium that will lure them.

On Monday night, a town hall meeting was held in Carson regarding the proposed stadium that would be used by the Chargers and Raiders. However, the Raiders didn’t show up for it.

Also not showing up for the meeting was Carmen Policy, the man hired by the two teams to spearhead the project. Carson mayor Albert Robles told XTRA 1360 in San Diego on Tuesday that Policy wanted to attend, but had travel issues.

“My understanding is that Carmen was supposed to be there, but he missed his flight and was not able to make it,” Robles said. “And it was supposed to be his presentation, and I tried to wing it as best as I could. But Mr. Policy did apologize, he did convey his regrets, he said that he would make up for it.”

The Raiders’ absence is more curious, and it’s possibly tied to the proposal that the team recently received regarding a plan for bridging the gap between the cost of a new Oakland stadium and the joint Raiders/NFL contribution to it.

Owner Mark Davis has repeatedly said he wants to stay in Oakland, and it definitely appears that the Chargers are currently more motivated to move to L.A. than the Raiders are.

Which ultimately could mean that the Chargers will share a stadium not with the Raiders in Carson, but with the Rams in Inglewood.


Not much, but it's something.
