SoFi suites and areas of the stadium sell to different sponsors, depending if its the Rams or Chargers playing?
Guys ... this isn't rocket science. It could work exactly like it works, right now, today, at SoFi.
If anything, having the ability, as a corporate sponsor, to buy a suite for 17 games a year instead of 8 or 9 is that much better. More dates to give to sales and major clients, rewards to workers, etc. That's how those things go.
Look, it was just for fun. I made it up completely out of thin air. I really doubt it would actually happen.
You guys are saying the same things over, and so am I.
I'm ready to take the loss and move on. Just wanted to have some fun with it, but wasn't trying to piss people off. We can move on
Spending about 10 minutes on a Google search I couldn't find out how the Rams/Chargers work the Suites/Game Day revenue. I did find lots of mentions that the Chargers PSL contributions were really underwhelming, which impacted their contribution to the funding of SoFi. This was much to Kroenke's dismay.
What I did find was that the Giants and Jets are completely separate. I assumed it was the same for the Rams/Chargers, but it might not be the case. I think some NBA/NHL franchises do share some of the dough from suites/sponsorships.
While I don't agree with your take, I don't even think you need to take an L. If it tick's people off that's on them. I do not view it as anything more than an interesting "what if conversation".
Without expansion (or minimal expansion say 2 teams) it's virtually no chance. An existing owner would have a much greater financial situation in an untapped market, London, Toronto or San Antonio.
Also take into consideration the other owners. If a 2nd team went to Chicago, the Bears would get the bulk of a Transfer or Expansion Fee, perhaps all. Instead the owners would want their share of the pie.
I think the NFL is set on world domination. If there is expansion to 36 or 40 teams, then heck ya it's not crazy to think Chicago gets a 2nd franchise. In addition to the 3 cities I mentioned, then Frankfurt or Mexico City are in play.
It would be a shame though if Chicago got a 2nd team before St Louis, Oakland or San Diego got a replacement. None of those cities lost their team due to lack of fan support. St Louis was even ready to upgrade to a new facility.
