NFL claims to have final say on LA football stadium deal
It's been 19 years since an NFL team has called L.A. home. After the 1994 season, the Rams left for St. Louis and the Raiders went back to Oakland.
After nearly two decades, both teams' stadium leases are about to expire and they, along with other teams, are casting a longing eye back to Los Angeles. Meanwhile, the city of L.A. and entertainment giant AEG push forward with plans for Farmers Field.
However, according to Daniel Kaplan of Sports Business Journal, the National Football League has told teams that the league owns the L.A. market.
