Do Angelenos really care if the NFL comes to LA?
A potential Raiders/Chargers stadium in Carson has some excited about the prospect of, not one team, but two. But could two teams be too little, too late in LA?

A potential Raiders/Chargers stadium in Carson has some excited about the prospect of, not one team, but two. But could two teams be too little, too late in LA?

Los Angeles has been without an NFL team for two long decades now. So every time buzz of a new team coming to town starts to build, many football fans are pretty skeptical. Nonetheless, news last week of a potential Raiders/Chargers shared stadium in Carson has some excited about the prospect of, not one team, but two.

Is it possible even two teams could be too little, too late? Do Angelenos still care if a team comes here - or which team it is at this point?

Bill Sanders teaches sports marketing at UCLA Anderson Center for Management of Enterprise in Media, Entertainment & Sports. He told Take Two that the appetite for a professional football team is still strong in the City of Angels; and he thinks it's inevitable that an NFL team will move to LA.
