49ers' Jed York Anticipates At Least One NFL Team Playing In L.A. For '16 Season

By Austin Karp, Assistant Managing Editor

Published June 15, 2015


York said the 49ers and NFL want to utilize the entire Bay Area for Super Bowl 50

The ’15 Veritix Sports Facilities & Franchises conference concluded on Friday with a walkthrough of Levi’s Stadium. But before getting to see the venue, 49ers CEO Jed York -- coming off a front-office pickup basketball game that morning -- sat down for a Q&A and addressed issues such as the NFL in L.A., how his organization operates and the process behind getting a stadium built. The following are highlights from the interview:

* On the NFL’s status with the L.A. market: “I think you’re going to see one -- if not two – teams in L.A. next season. The teams will begin construction, but also play in a temporary venue, because it’s hard to say, ‘Hey, we’re moving to L.A. We’re building a new stadium. But we’re going to stay here for the next two seasons.’ That’s a very tough sell. ... You’ve got the Inglewood site that is shovel ready. It’s much further ahead than any other site. ... Carson is a viable site, but Inglewood is ahead because you could literally start tomorrow.”

Another article that will get buried or ignored elsewhere. An NFL owner acknowledging that Inglewood is far ahead of Carson.

First time I ever cared on what York said...Politics makes strange bedfellows!
