Stub Hub is way too small. That leaves only one major football stadium. And only one of the three teams are proposing to leave by themselves and still have the coliseum in their Rolodex and letterhead in the files.

If the Charaiders are somehow it, let the scheduling fun begin. 16 consecutive weekends at the coliseum... ? unless Dodgers Stadium or ironically the Big A,, the Raiders would be trading in their dirt infield for another dirt infield,, for a while..

Wasn't there rumors about Rams officials talking with Coliseum officials? Is that accurate I don't remember.

A friend of mine saw them about a year ago. parking concession stuff. hearsay at best but reliable . Also read another similar case.

Haha no way that's awesome!

If the Rose Bowl is out, then this is a big problem for the NFL.

There is no way they can have the Raiders and Chargers both play in the Coliseum. The field will be a mess with the college games going on there as well. I can't imagine that going on for 3 years, and that's what choosing Carson would cause.

Again.. An other question mark with the Carson idea. Besides 3 years for Carson to get completed? Said who? When are they breaking ground. Once the land is cleaned and they announce when there going to break ground then will know if it's 3 or more years. The mayor last time said we don't know when will break ground.

Inglewood, with a blink of a eye is ready in 2018.

Good point. But as Vinny tweets, this may not be the last word on Pasadena.

And assuming SK is planning on coming, i'm sure he already knows where in L.A. he'll be playing next season...

I'm giving a best case scenario here. Policy said they would be ready for the 2019 season. Still, even if they made that overly optimistic timeline, having the Raiders and Chargers both share the Coliseum with UCLA and other events for at least 3 years would be a mess for the NFL.

But, its not going to happen.

The Rams will move to the Coliseum alone next year and that will work just fine.

Rose Bowl officials do not want stadium to be a temporary NFL home

By SAM FARMER

The Rose Bowl is bowing out of the competition to be the temporary home to an NFL team.

By a unanimous vote Wednesday night, the Rose Bowl Operating Co. decided not to respond to the NFL’s request for a proposal to be a temporary home to a franchise that could relocate to the Los Angeles market.

The Rose Bowl was one of five venues contacted by the league. The others are the Coliseum, Dodger Stadium, Angel Stadium and StubHub Center in Carson.

"An RFP [request for proposal] is not an indication that the NFL wants to come here," RBOC member Nicholas Rodriguez said. "It’s an indication of a bidding war."

RBOC members said they instead wanted to focus their attention on landing an annual music and arts festival sponsored by AEG.

"A music and arts festival is long term, financially superior, and more fitting with our brand," RBOC President Victor Gordo said.

There is still a possibility the Pasadena City Council could ask the RBOC to respond to the NFL’s proposal request.

Maybe not, but keep in mind that Vinny is close with Fabiani, and this development hurts Fabiani. The Rose Bowl committee doesn't want to get used as leverage by the NFL so while it may not be the last word, it's a big problem for the Chargers and Raiders.

Policy also has said they could break ground this year. Gimme time I'll find the link.

My point is Fabani,Robles,Policy all say different things because they don't know when they could begin.

The more I think about it, the RB committee decision has got to put a smile on Kroenke's face.

Rose Bowl Committee not interested in being a temp home for NFL
Posted on July 8, 2015 by Vincent Bonsignore

The NFL’s flirtation with the Rose Bowl as a temporary playing site while a long-term Los Angeles stadium is being built is off to a rocky start. And if the committee in charge of the stadium has it’s way, the relationship will end before ever getting started.

The Rose Bowl Operating Committee voted unanimously of Wednesday to reject the NFL’s overtures in being a temporary stadium site beginning in the 2016 season. The league has reached out to various local sites – the Rose Bowl, Coliseum and StubHub Center and Dodger Stadium – gauging interest in housing one or two teams while a stadium in either Carson or Inglewood is constructed.

The NFL is assessing the San Diego Chargers and Oakland Raiders Carson stadium project and St. Louis Rams owner Stan Kroenke’s proposed Inglewood stadium plan. A decision on what team or teams relocate to Los Angeles and where they will play could come by the end of 2015 or early 2016.

If one or two teams relocate, they will need temporary stadiums while their new homes get built.

The Rose Bowl figured prominently in the discussion. But it doesn’t look like the interest is mutual.

And while the Pasadena City Council has the right to ignore the committee’s decision, obviously this wasn’t the reaction the NFL was hoping.

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.
