Jags one step closer to moving to LA; 800m in funding approved

St Louis Rams might jump over.

 

We dont have to worry about any of this for years.

 

Why does LA deserve a team? They've had 2 already and couldn't keep either of them. It's sad, what's happened in Jax. I live a few hours from there and it used to be a great NFL city.

 

Hey that's like half their total attendance at games.

 

On top of that, it's making the same mistake that the NFL made in Florida: putting a third team in a state that has a long-standing fan base built on existing teams. Why do they think it will work??


I know that they're looking at sheer numbers of people there and calling that a 'market', but the truth is that a great percentage of them really don't care about football, and another great percentage of them are transients.

 

I'd agree with that, TJ. However, I think it's more likely that the Jags stay put, despite their empty stadium, and the Rams or the Vikings end up moving. The Rams are easiest in terms of division movement, but the Vikings are a little more serious at the moment about getting out of their obligations with the city.

We'll see, I think we're still a minimum of two seasons away from seeing any team change.

Heck, maybe they'll send the Jags to London!

 

If the Jaguars do end up moving to Walnut, CA it would be a troop for them to make there away divisional games. But look at Seattle, they earn themselves some air miles if anyone does. And if the traveling were a bit much, reassigning the AFC South and West would be easy. Just swap the Chiefs for the Jags. I like the easy win, but the Chiefs are a better game to see. Crazy stadium to go to every year, but we could do it.

But its not L.A. that they'd be in. It's Walnut? Thats kind of close but not really. LOL "And taking the field The Walnut Jaguars"! Great.

If we get the Chiefs in the AFC South that at least brings some more history to a division without much compared to others. We have 3 newer teams.
