    This new Konk-adium project. The one
    where all the pictures and do-dads
    impressed the owners and convinced them
    to screw ole Spanos — well, I’ve seen the Pictures.

    And nowhere do i see a big curved Horn.

    Just seems like they coulda incorporated
    a big ole Horn,
    spinning off the roof or a big ole horn sculpture.
    Ya know.

    If yer gonna spend a hundred billion dollars,
    you’d think there’d be a horn.

    George Lucas woulda had a horn.

    I notice you didn’t mention a Massey statue. I’ll assume it was implied…

    True. But this is Still Amerika.

    In this land we brag about our conquests.
    I would think the Kronk-atorium would
    have a giant statue of a golden horn
    up the ass of St.Louis.

    And if you dont want that kind of statue
    maybe you should just go back to
    green bay or some other socialist country.

    i was going to add massey but i fear that kroenke will eliminate any remaining evidence of the st louis rams.

    if you go on the welcomehomerams.com website you’ll notice they omit the st louis years from the history. i realize it’s a welcome la rams but still. they should find some way to recognize those guys at some point.

    Fisher said in an interview that he was in on the meetings about the new stadium during the season.

    So much for his patented line that he didn’t know what was going on, he didn’t want the distraction.

    Since StanK is funding this stadium on his own I hope he loses big.

    The upside to being a Rams fan is heartbreak.

    Sprinkles are for winners.

    I can’t even imagine what a complex like that would bring in on a yearly basis.

    Anyone?

    No idea. I think the owners are pretty squirrelly about
    releasing that kind of info.

    OK, so just off the top of my head

    I’m gonna assume payments on a 2 billion dollar loan to be 10 million a month. Revenue sharing alone will pay that.

    Yeah, I don’t know what the hell i’m talking about.

    I miss the St. Louis Rams

    More than all of us on this board combined will earn in our lifetimes.

    There’s a casino. A 300-room hotel. 3,000 residences (mostly single-family and townhouses), a shopping center, and a 6,000 seat theatre.

    Oh, and office space. 780,000 sq. feet of office space. The current average rental in LA county is $2.51 per sq. ft. per month for office space. So the office space alone will generate about $2 million each month IF they charge the AVERAGE rate which they probably won’t.

    The stadium is supposed to seat 80,000 with another 20,000 in standing room. Let’s go with 80,000 times an average ticket price of $100 times ten home games. That is $80 million in tickets.

    Retail rental was $25 sq. ft in 2013.

    And there is 890,000 sq ft of that.

    So that’s over $22 million per month.

    So Retail + Office + Rams only = > $100,000,000/year. Never mind the housing, casino, theatre, hotels, parking lots, concessions, and merchandising. And local radio rights and whatever. Plus whatever Spanos pays to lease the stadium, as well as other uses of it, plus the advertising and naming rights. TV revenue.

    Yeah, he’s going to need a couple dozen CPAs just to count the money.

    There’s only so much money to go around even in LA. Retail developments fail all the time. StanK doesn’t have the security blanket of building for his pappy-in-law on this development. StanK isn’t building it in the stix where the competition can stagnate for decades. StanK better get Spanos in a long lease because if it proves so wildly successful after 5 years the competition will emerge and Spanos’ Chargers is the prize tenant. Would be so cool if Spanos ropes a lease from StanK that gives him the out or better bargaining power with StanK. Karma is a bitch.

    Get over the butt hurt bnw, the Rams are in LA where they always should have been.

    As for the new Stadium and City of Champions project there have been plenty of articles over the past year of what is involved and how the project will be funded and how profits will be made from it.

    Search the archives of the LA Times by Sam Farmer and Nathan Fenno.

    This is not just about a stadium. Its about a great entertainment district that is going to put LA Live (AEG’s baby) to shame.

    Talk is cheap GRITS just like the support for the NFL in LA. Las Vegas is a great entertainment district. LA is a zoo.

    No squabbling and personal jabs. It ain’t us, it ain’t how we do it.
