I am waiting to see how the actual funding goes for the new LA stadium. Right now the Rams owner seems to be proposing a plan with little if any public money involved. I salute that approach if it is so. St. Louis tried to keep the Rams with $400M in public money (they still owe $100M on their last bad deal on the current stadium).
