New NFL Teams...

"AMELIA ISLAND, Fla. -- The National Football League would like to have a team back in Los Angeles by 2008, Commissioner Paul Tagliabue said Tuesday.

Tagliabue said league owners were pushing for a decision on a stadium site by next spring, giving the NFL the time it needs to return a franchise to the country's second largest television market by 2008.

"We're hopeful we can stick to a timeline that would have us make some decisions on a stadium project maybe a year from now in May of '05," he said.
The league, which has not had a team in the Los Angeles area since the Rams departed for St. Louis 10 years ago, has been working with groups representing sites at Carson, the Coliseum and the Rose Bowl in Pasadena.

"Everyone has been working at this," Tagliabue said. "At some point decisions need to be made."

League owners have made no decision about expanding to a 33rd team or moving a troubled franchise to Los Angeles when and if they come to an agreement on a stadium there."

If the NFL adds a 33rd team, will they add another team to even out the conferences? If they do what city will get the team? Does the NFL really need 4 (Chargers, 49ers, Raiders, and NEW TEAM) teams located in CA?

IMO the NFL is just fine the way it is, I really don't think that there is a need for a team to be in L.A. If an owner wants to relocate to L.A. then fine but just to add a team because there has not ben a team in L.A. since the Rams is crazy. There should be a better reason than that.
