Yes, but Jones is submitting a format where the guess work is removed. It's a plan out of all the abstract. Could lasso a few of the confused or undecided. I would have to bet that ESK signed off on it too.

If and when it becomes clear that Spanos can't stop Kroenke from coming to L.A., that's when i think he'll seriously consider staying in SD.

But until then it's full speed ahead on blocking Kroenke...


I think what Jerry did was 100% for these "undecided" owners. He's forcing the issue trying to bring them down off the fence.

Spanos wants an open air stadium just for football. Kroenke wants his dome multi sport entertainment complex. Seems like there's more to the indifference
And again, it seems what Kroenke is proposing is better for NFL and what LA deserves.
God it makes too much sense which is why I'm so nervous that it goes the other way

He may be saying that because he can't afford anything else. No smart owner would want to limit the income potential from surrounding development and from the additional events that a covered stadium could accommodate unless they couldn't make it work financially.

As a great poet once said:

You can't always get you want...

You can't always get what you want...

But if you try sometimes, you might find...

You get what you need!! Ohhh yeah...

That's a good point.

You make a good point, however I think Spanos wants the vote between he and Stan and the more he differentiates his plan from Stan, divide and conquer

Let them both build their stadiums and see who blinks. Thats really the only outcome here

With the NFL backing Kroenke against the St Louis stadium plan, I cant see any way they can make Stan "happy" unless it involves LA

I just feel that the deck is stacked so hard in Rams to LA favor that something else is up

I read some where if Inglewood is built in that SG will pull out of financing Carson. If you think about that, if true, that could be a play by Stan in itself.

I feel the same about your stacked comment. And I am hoping this is all eye wash for the appearance they tried for their friend Dean. Inglewood is too magnificent on design and finance issues to deny. It may be many decades, if ever, another opportunity as this comes back around.

I would love to see them build 2 stadiums but Carson's financing is dead if Inglewood is built.

If Spanos decides to stonewall the process by not compromising his support amongst the owners would evaporate quickly. The League and a majority of the owners want this over.

Spanos is trying to cut the best deal he can so he's going to say no right till that point.

To be honest, I would too. This is a big deal.
