I know we got some experts in here, (nik, javier ect) so I have a question for you: what do you think the chances of Vancouver getting a MLB team or another NBA team are?
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?
-
Las Vegas, Portland, Sacramento, and I think maybe somewhere else on the westcoast will be the next place for a mlb team. las vegas will be the most likely place to get a new professional sports team. I wouldn't doubt it if the Sac Kings move their w/in the next few years. I definately don't see any mlb team in canada anytime soon, especially since the exposed just moved, it just wouldn't be a good investment.
-
I have always thought it was strange that vegas didn't have any pro teams.
-
Any well populated city should get a shot at having a sports team. The tough thing is putting a quality team on the field or court lol. but i have no idea if any leauge is trying to add another team, i hveant heard anything
I doubt Las Vegas will get anything anytime soon
-
las vegas is trying very hard. they were trying to move the A's there. And there was a ton of speculation of the Kings moving there, because the new stadium in Sac fell thru. I guarantee w/in 3 years Las Vegas has a pro sports team, and they will be the next city to get a team.
-
All i know is that LA Is getting the Next FOOTBALL team......
Basketball = New Jersey (If the nets really do move)
Baseball = Portland
-
LMAO @ LA getting the next football team. LA doesn't give one shit about sports except for the Lakers and thats because of all the celebrity fans. Within the last 10 years both the Raiders and the Rams have left LA, and you think they are getting the next football team? hahahahahaha.

R u kidding
Dodgers = Most Fans have attended dodger games than any other team ALL TIME!!!
Lakers = duh
Clippers = Still A Hot Ticket in LA
The only reason the rams and the raiders left is because they would not built the teams new stadiums....Anahiem did not want a new stadium in Anahiem for the rams....LA wanted to just renovate the coliseum, which was not happening for the raiders owner, so they both bounced....LA is the biggest sports market out there, fuck u talkin about
-
over 6 million people from the L.A area watch baseball, so its not just the lakers
-
LOL, LA is one of the biggest cities in america, of course its gonna have a lot of fans, BUT...
comparitivaly it doesn't have shit for fans outside of the lakers. LA is too superficial for sports, they are more into hollywood and all that bullshit. before the angels won the world serious a couple of years ago, there was not SHIT for angels fans. then they get to the world series and win (of course they could only beat the wack ass giants) and all these angels fans emerge.....HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA fuckin bandwagon fans, that is all LA has. When the teams are down and out you won't see shit for fans. Most LA sports fans are gayer than Giant fans. Come to the Oakland colesium and see some real fuckin baseball fans...yeah it don't sell a whole lot of tickets, thats cuz its so fuckin ghetto there, and most A's fans are broke and spendin their money on alcohol.
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.
-
The NFL wont care if they are real fans or bandwagon fans. They both do the same thing in L.A, attend the games

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!

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!
-
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.
-
First You Said
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.
Then You Said
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
.....Your done, Thank you come again :)

hey dumbass, an owner makes the final decision whether a new stadium is to be built, and then the city will vote on it. bottom line is, if the owner doesn't want it, whether or not the city does, then it won't happen. never in the history of sports has one owner funded a new stadium all by his/herself. that is why I said any smart owner will build a new stadium if need be if the team attracts fans. sorry I didn't know you were that slow, next time I'll draw pictures and shit.
-
hey dumbass, an owner makes the final decision whether a new stadium is to be built, and then the city will vote on it.
So if the owner makes the final decision, then why do they need the city to vote on it??
LMAO!! YOUR AN IDIOT!!!!
Then you said
bottom line is, if the owner doesn't want it, whether or not the city does, then it won't happen.
Why would the city build a stadium for a team when they dont want one?!?! When did i say that??
Here have a bowl of shut the fuck up...YOUR DONE! ;)
-
on a side note...Yankees are building a new 800 million doller stadium ;D

goddamn you are dumb as hell. the owner makes the final decision...if he doesn't want it, it won't happen, no matter how bad the city wants it. the city votes on it because they will have to pay a lot of money for it. if a city wants it and the owner doesn't, it won't happen. understand, or should I draw you a picture?
the second quote you are just too dumb too understand, and I explained it above. I don't even know why I bother. you probably won't understand any of this. then again, you think LA is getting the next football team, I dunno why I bothered replying to you at all, now I feel dumb.

Tell me why in the hell would the CITY WANT TO BUILD A NEW STADIUM FOR A TEAM IF THEY DONT WANT ONE??!?
YOUR A FUCKIN MORON, LMAO!!!!!
now I feel dumb.
As you should
-
I can't answer your dumbass question, because I don't know why a city would build a stadium if they didn't want one.
IF A CITY WANTSA NEW STADIUM, BUT THE OWNER DOESN'TTHERE WON'T BE ONE
what is so hard to understand about that sentence? how fuckin retarded are you? you are just twisting my words around into your headupyourass logic, and can't figure out your own dumb ass question. Please where your helmet more often, you don't need any more brain trauma.
an owner and a city are 2 different things. I know you have to be smarter than a brick to understand that one, so I can understand why it is takin so much for you to understand.
-

EXACTLY, WHY WOULD A CITY BUILD A STADIUM IF THE OWNER OF THE TEAM THAT PLAYED IN THE CITY DID NOT WANT ONE? JUST TO HAVE A HUGE TOILET IN THE GROUND WITH SEATS??!?! YOUR A DUMBASS, YOU MAKE NO SENSE, YOUR DONE..........YOU HAVE NOTHING...HAVE A NICE DAY ;)
-
LOL, LA is one of the biggest cities in america, of course its gonna have a lot of fans, BUT...
the biggest actually...
as for Vegas...id imagine theres a lot of nervousness about putting a professional sports team in the middle of the gambling capital. i can see the conspiracy theories already!
And Vancouver is gonna have a real tough time getting another Basketball franchise. Cities that lose teams struggle getting another one, i dont think their attendance was all that amazing when the Grizzlies were there. Im in San Diego, im dyin for us to get a NBA franchise....and Kareem was even trying to bring one down here a few years ago. But i dont see it anytime soon. If any team moves, it should be Atlanta....their attendance is pathetic! You could sell more tickets to a hockey game in South Central then they do in a month. lol

finally you are sounding smarter than a brick. You answered you're owned stupid ass question...
why would a city build a stadium for a team if the owner doesn't want it? they wouldn't. which is why the raiders and the rams moved out of LA. and why wouldn't a owner want to build a new stadium? because financially it is not a good idea? why is that? because he is not making enough money from the investment. why is that? because not enough fans are supporting the team.
there ya go you fuckin dipshit idiot. its really sad that you couldn't figure that out. did I mention how dumb you are.
so if in the last 10 years 2 teams have left LA, you think the next nfl team is going there? I know you have the brainpower of a brick, but can you at least realize how fuckin dumb you sound when you say that?
*note: I don't expect you to understand this. I just wanted to make one thing clear: You are dumb.

LMAO!! DUMBASS OF THE YEAR AWARD GOES TO YOU!!
Let Me mention how dumb you are....
Raiders = LEFT BECAUSE THE CITY DID NOT WANT TO RAISE TAXES TO PAY FOR A NEW STADIUM!!! - Look it up, dumbass
Rams = LEFT BECAUSE THE CITY DID NOT WANT TO RAISE TAXES TO PAY FOR A NEW STADIUM!!!
Al Davis even had meetings 2 years after moving back to oakland in LA to see if they would want to, but refused to because there were not able to finacially, or just wanted to renouvate the coliseum and the Rose Bowl.
The Rams owner Was going to Move the Rams Sooner Or Later, because she grew up in St. Louis (st. Louis is in the middle of nowhere, if u say that they have a better fanbase than LA you are the dumbest man alive) And opened up buisnesses over there, she might have used the excuse of a new stadium not doing the job and St. louis just happend to build a new Domed Stadium right when they moved, how convinent
Your Just talking nonsense, you sounding dumber, which i thought was impossible, keep saying dumb things, you are really the retard of this post, The end,...YOUR DONE!

both of you argue like idiots lol...NO ONE WINS
