Are these people retarded? The Raiders used to play there. The area was designed to have thousands of people visit. Where else is this going to happen? (2) Exposition Park is typically a ghost town during the day except for dozens of busloads of kids that get baby sat by museum staff. The Natural History Museum, in an attempt to by MOCA, has fired all their scientists, and has produced exactly jack squat that will attract their core demographic (young families). A football team would increase attendance at the NHM, because they could continute to charge a ridiculous $11 entry fee to use the bathroom (like they do on USC game days). They get a pre-game bump with people bringing their kids with them to the game needing somewhere to go.</p>
