Haden was talking with the NFL all the way back in January.

Haden made it clear that if an NFL team moves to southern California, the university would like that team to make the Coliseum their temporary home.

Agreed but i also think it could be a negotiating tactic by the Rose Bowl. They think the NFL is trying to start a bidding war and they aren't gonna play by those rules...

Nice find! Hacksaw, looks like your sources were correct.

It means the NFL will have to declare their intentions before the Rose Bowl commits to complying with the NFL's request. And the only way the NFL will satisfy the Rose Bowl folks that they aren't in a bidding war is if they declare that they have chosen Carson.

That's a big timing problem. The NFL doesn't want to chose Carson or Inglewood before they have a handle on where the teams will play in 2016.

"If the decision stands, the Coliseum figures to benefit. However, don’t rule out the StubHub Center, which has emerged as a serious candidate despite seating just 27,000 – far below typical NFL stadiums.

However, the league – and at least one of the teams in consideration – view the venue as an attractive alternative in that it can create an intimate, acoustic fan experience unlike any other stadium
."

I'd bet one of those teams isn't the Rams

I'm gonna say it's the team with the smallest L.A. fan base and a spin-meister lawyer who has Vinny on speed dial...

That can't be Kroenke's real account can it? I read some of the tweets and it sure doesn't sound like Silent Stan.

It's a joke account but it's pretty funny, and whoever it actually is makes some good points along the way...
