The National Football League is not planning on expanding. However, the developers of the new stadium have claimed on their website that their tenant "will be an existing team that needs to move because they cannot build a new stadium or financially they are not successful in their current market.
Possible according to quote from Wiki. Then again have to take this info with a grain of salt

TV money and revenue generation from having a team in arguably the 1st or 2nd biggest market in the country. LA fans are crappy BUT they're pretty damn good when the team is winning. The Rams had a long and glorious history in LA for the most part and would likely still be in the LA market if they either didn't move to Anaheim or got a new stadium sometime in the early '90s as Anaheim Stadium wasn't the greatest in football configuration.

You can't really judge the LA market too much on the Raiders experience because that was a sideshow almost from day one and they played in a stadium that was WAAAY too big even by NFL standards.

Re: Jacksonville Jaguars...Is their end near?

The Jags will not be moving. First they average more attendance than at least half of the other teams, look up the stat. The stadium is way too big for the market because of college football requirements. Second they have around 20 years left on the lease and to get out of it, there is a lot of money that would have to be paid.

The blackouts are because the team will not be buying any tickets. There are going to be plenty of blackouts this year around the league. Tampa already is giving tickets away, the team bought them, to avoid blackouts. San Diego is going to blackout most of their games. I'm sure there are plenty of other teams also.

I know what their market is supposed to be but it's rare to have a consistently great team in the NFL and LA fans have shown that they are bandwagoners.

If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)

Florida just shouldn't even have sports teams. It's embarrassing the way they **** on the Marlins/Rays, I would kill to be able to watch a team with either of their talents.

I can understand the lack of support for the Rays and Marlins. The Rays have been the worst team in baseball for most of their history. No town would support a team that took nearly two decades to get relevant.

I along with alot of other South Floridians would go to more Marlins games if it wasn't so damn hot. Baseball season in Florida is brutal weather wise. It's either a monsoon or hotter than a hooker in church. Once they move into their new stadium and the Fins get Joe Robbie/Pro Player/Dolphin/Landshark Stadium to themselves, I'll be going to Marlins games whenever I'm back in town.
