Question for the MLB and NBA experts......
Javier:
The NFL wont care if they are real fans or bandwagon fans. They both do the same thing in L.A, attend the games

And again LMMFAO @ E-Crazy. The only reason why the teams left is cuz they wouldn't build new stadiums for them huh? LOL. ANY smart owner will build a new stadium for the team if they got the fans that will come to the stadium and make the owner money. yet the teams couldn't sell tickets, so I wouldn't be worthwhile financial wise for the owner to build a new stadium. Use a lil common sense bro. Why do you think teams move cities? Cuz they get sick of playing in the same place for so long? LOL. It all has to do with money. No fans = No money = No more team. 2 pro teams in the same sport leaving the same city within less than 10 years, haha, how often has that happened in sports history? Probably next to never. That is how sad LA's sports fan base is.

You actually think either owner had enough money to make a stadium?? your outta your mind....both teams wanted Money From The City Of LA & Anahiem, but both declined becuase they did not want to raise taxes when they could use the money to help out the many poor people that are in LA & Orange county....You actually think a sports team owner has $200+ million to spend on a new stadium??? he would have to sacrafice like 8 years of having a crappy team, just to have a luxury stadium.......But then, who would go to watch such a crappy team?? ....Also, the only reason Houston got a new NFL team before LA was because of LA refusing to raise their taxes so high to build a new stadium............and California being in debt did not help matters neither.....
LA Superficial?!?! - Tell that to the old mexican ladys and men that are out at EVERY Dodger Game, Tell that to every Dodger Fan who beats on (and sometimes shoots) Giants fans.....Just look @ People Like NIK and groupies of his, they are Diehard Laker fans
LOOK @ THE CLIPPERS - 60% of home games sold out, with the other 40% with 90%+ attendence (source: Los Angeles Times - Article Written by Jerry Crowe, This past sunday) - - They Have NOT MADE THE PLAYOFFS SINCE I WAS IN THE 5th GRADE! AND STILL HAVE A HUGE FANBASE
Oh, And The Angels play in the OC, ive been a diehard angel fan since i was born, born and raised on angel blood...i aint on no bandwagon tip, but yea, that did happen, but Angel game attendence was far from empty everytime i attended a game...They might have not showed up in the stadium, but they were always a lot of angel fans out there, why would Disney and Arte Moreno Invest so much of their own money on a team that Would not sell?? Your dumb, you sound so stupid......
Oh, and FYI, the staples center - ALL PRIVATLY FUNDED!

I know the AL west only has 4 teams, that's why I'm glad the expos didn't go to portland.
And from what I understand, the owner of the grizzlies wanted to move from the get-go. He owned other companies here and moved them all to Memphis aswell.
Vancouver has a little over 2 million people. It's about the same size as seattle in popualtion. But seattle has way more shit than we do.
I wonder about this all the time. I fuckin hate hockey, and I need some kind of sporting event to go to. Anyone know anything?

Im an NBA and MLB expert ;D..how dare you put NIK ahead of me for NBA! (Jav does know more about the MLB than me)...
WE WONT GET EITHER. MLB team..wait another 10 years and maybe we'll have a chance, we need a bigger population and the economy a bit better. Plus you know the salaries players are gonna be earning by then? We wont be able to make a profit! Toronto is a big city.
We fucked up the NBA thing.
WE'RE A HOCKEY CITY...LIVE WITH IT! HAHAHHAHA!!!!WHOOOOOOO!
Acgrundy:
please man, use some common sense before you ever address me again. of course I don't think that the owners themselves had enough money to build a stadium, I know how it all works and I spelled it out for you. tattoo it on your ass and bend over to the mirror every day untill LA gets a football team.
