Chargers’ relocation application was thought of as BS by the San Diego leaders.
The lead negotiator for the county and city efforts to keep the Chargers in town tried unsuccessfully in obtaining a copy of the teams’ application to relocate to Los Angeles. The officials are concerned that the application might have inaccuracies in it. Attorney Chris Melvin tried requesting the document from the NFL and the Chargers and they have not provided it to him. Monday night the Chargers’ had a video released where the Chairman, Dean Spanos, stated the team made nine proposals for a new stadium which the city rejected. Most of the proposals were made with other cities in the county and did not include the financing plans.

The Rams think their hometown market is economically stagnant and thinks the plans for a billion-dollar stadium was a recipe for financial disaster. Of course, with the Rams thinking that, it has brought immediate condemnation from the officials and fans. Mayor Francis Slay and the St. Louis NFL Stadium Task Force sent responses to the NFL, stating what they thought was inaccuracies in the Rams’ application. The task force stated that it was not prepared “for the cruel attack and false claims made by our local team owner, to his League peers, in an attempt to punish and embarrass St. Louis – a city whose residents and businesses have loyally supported the Rams for more than two decades.” The Chargers’ stadium turned nasty last year when Fabiani attacked Faulconer and his proposals to keep them in San Diego. Of course, the Chargers walked away from the negotiations in June and is focusing on their efforts for Carson. Jason Cabel Roe, a political consultant to Faulconer said in an email to the Associate Press, “Now that we know the disparaging sentiments Uncle Stan had for STL, one can only wonder what Deano had to say about

    By explaining his position with the franchise and explaining to Sims about the conflict of interest, this entire court case could have been avoided. Throughout the negotiations with both teams, Argovitz should have also advised Sim’s to either find a second opinion regarding the contract with the Gamblers, or realize that while a conflict of interest is occurring, he still had the option to continue negotiations with him. If he had chosen the second option, Sims would have at least known the background of the situation and could have used that information to help him make a decision regarding the two teams. Argovitz could have expressed why he wanted Sims to take the deal with the Gamblers if he explained how Sims would be the star player, the face of the team, etc. Sims then could take that into account after also hearing about the negotiations with the Detroit Lions.…

    Roger Goodell has a great amount of credibility simply because he is the Commissioner of the National Football League. An example from Goodell’s response letter of his credibility is when he states, “The team’s millions of fans and customers who represent one of America’s most ethnically and geographically diverse fan bases, believe this mascot has a much deeper meaning than what many perceive the term to be.” Goodell is an unbiased commissioner of the National Football League and though there is no given evidence that the Redskins have in fact the most ethnically and geographically diverse fan base, Goodell is so credible that these statements often go unquestioned. Another example of ethos in Goodell’s response is when Goodell said, “The National Football League takes seriously its responsibility to exemplify the values of diversity and inclusion that make our nation great. To that end, assume that we are committed to working with the team, this Caucus and others to continue to reinforce the many positive attributes represented by the team’s name and marks.”…

    You can tell by the Orthopedic/Apartment Multiplex that the entitlement process was tedious and extensive. Palmer went to several Los Angeles Planning Commission Meetings, and found that the lot he wanted to expand on was owned by the Los Angeles Orthopedic Hospital. The purpose of the Orthopedic Hospital was for lower-income families children, so it played a vital role in the community. Palmer recognized this, and further negotiated proper terms to meet Los Angeles’ low-income housing demands. However, Palmer had leverage on the property, since the previous developed land was an unpleasant gas station.…

Cowboys are coming off a bye week while the Giants are coming off a lost against the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday night. Everyone one on the Cowboys with the exception of Dez Bryant, and Tony Romo should be healthy ready to play which is good news for the Cowboys. The plan all along since Dez injured his foot Week 1 against the Giants was to have him back after the bye week to get him ready to play against the Giants. It’s still up in the air whether he plays or not but the bone would need to be 100% healthy before the medical staff clears him to play.…

    This study will investigate how the hypothetical construction of the Kingsford stadium would affect the housing values of the surrounding areas. It will analyse property values from other areas and compare them with values after a stadium has been built in that area.

    The problem with the new Perth Stadium is that the Stadium is built on a registered contamination site. Testing in 2008 show that the site had a toxic mix of asbestos, industrial waste, cinder ash, bio solids, and acid sulphate in the soil. The Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) has acknowledged that the process of ‘subcharging’ will increase the water flow towards the Swan River. This has the potential to increase contaminated seepage into the river. Driving 30 metre pylons in the ground will further distribute the toxins and methane gas generated by the bio solids.…

    The Seattle Seahawks have a one of a kind coach named Pete Carroll. The Seahawks head coach likes to have fun during practice and in meetings and even has a mini basketball hoop in the practice facility that they can use in practice and sometimes he will stop meetings to have a shooting contest on it. He also sometimes likes to play blaring music to let the players have fun. Even though he encourages the players to be themselves in practice or in games he does not like when they start yelling or cursing. I have seen bad records by the Seahawks, but this is the worst of all.…

    I in this discussion post would like to discuss the externalities, meaning the uncompensated impact of one person’s actions on the well-being of a third party, presented and disregarded in the news in connection to the construction of a stadium in Las Vegas. In addition, I would also like to discuss if the stated assumptions of the positive externalities are correct or not. I will be taking articles from other new sources that will not be clearly directed at the Las Vegas stadium, but stadiums in general as it is still something being discussed in the news and can be employed in this specific situation. Recent local news has been discussing the possibility of the Raiders, an NFL team, moving to Las Vegas.…
