The only reason why there isn't a football team in L.A. is because they still don't have a plan for a new stadium and where to put it. If you remember, this was the sole reason why they didn't receive the expansion franchise in '99. L.A. fans (including myself) and the media really wanted in a team back in '99 but the desire burned out when we realized it wasn't going to happen.
But 11 years later, rumors are starting to float around that an existing franchise may move to L.A.. Like I said in an earlier thread, the best team to move to L.A. would be the Chargers.
They were never getting a team in '99, that was always going to go to Cleveland due to their BS appeasement with the city for the old Browns franchise to flee to Baltimore.
They were supposed to get the '02 expansion team with the new team using a massively renovated LA Coliseum as the home stadium.
