Steelers President Art Rooney Says NFL Could Relocate Two Teams To L.A.

Steelers president Art Rooney II, chairman of the NFL stadium committee, is among the owners most plugged into what appears to be the inevitable return to LA. Because there are no plans to expand the 32-team league, a Los Angeles franchise — or franchises — would result from a relocation. The prime candidates include the Chargers and, remarkably, the Rams and Raiders. Jacksonville also might figure into the equation. “I would think that, within five years, L.A. would have a team,†Rooney said. “I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s two teams. I wouldn’t want to make a prediction, but I would be comfortable saying one. But there’s certainly a chance there will be two.†Having two teams in Los Angeles would create more West Coast travel for teams, including the Steelers, who have traveled to California only once in the past five regular seasons.

Haha..."Andy" Rooney.

 

I can see it being the Chargers or Raiders IF they can't get a new stadium.

 

Jaguars should be 1. No fan support

F LA. MLS would have better luck.

 

Isn't this the same city that couldn't even support 1 team?

Twice.

 

LA is basketball city always will be

 

There's so much ad revenue sitting there that the NFL doesn't care if the team is supported or not...

 

I think a city like L.A. would be a great city for an NFL team.

 

It's already failed twice.

 

The NFL doesn't care about that. The money they will make in the time the one or even two teams are there in ad revenue will be ridiculous...

 

Beg to differ...Hockeytown USA!
