There have been rumors and reports that the NFL could be returning to Los Angeles. But it looks like there is a deadline in place
From Sporting News:
"The City Council on Tuesday gave developer AEG another six months to lure a professional football team to the nation’s second-largest city, which has lacked one for two decades.Without discussion, the council extended AEG’s 2012 agreement to build a downtown stadium and convince an NFL team to move there. The original deal was set to expire on Saturday but the new deadline to obtain a team commitment is April."
That deadline is pretty unrealistic because there doesn’t seem to be any franchise ready to be on the move. With the Buffalo Bills ownership situation looking unclear they appeared to be a franchise poised for a potential moves.
Then the Buffalo Sabres owner bought the Bills and now they’re going to stay.
Considering they haven’t been able to lure anyone yet makes it looks even more dire.
Still it is hard to believe that an NFL team wouldn’t be intrigued by the potential of the the Los Angeles market.
"In addition to receiving more time, AEG agreed to cover the $750,000 it would cost for a “Plan B.” If no new stadium is built, the money would pay the early design and study costs of expanding the existing Los Angeles Convention Center — next door to where the proposed Farmer’s Field stadium would stand."
The clock is ticking now.
