Pittsburgh's Art Rooney II, New England's Robert Kraft, Carolina's Jerry Richardson, Kansas City's Clark Hunt, Houston's Bob McNair, and the NYG's John Mara were the 6 owners on the LA committee.

Richardson was the big dog in favor of SD/Oak. These 6 voted 5-1 for SD/Oak.

Jerry Jones got Kraft to be 1 against the SD/Oak Carson project.

Jones was the big dog backing Kroneke. The only chance Carson was Disney Chairman Bob Iger selling the owners enough to pick them over Rams/Inglewood.

The owners saw both presentations. They said the Rams/Inglewood presentation was like Star Wars and the Carson/SD/Oak presentation was like a 70's VCR.

Thus the owners voted 20-12 in favor of the Rams. Spanos the Chargers owner had 10 votes in his back pocket. He could block the Rams but because the NFL gave him the option to join he relented and they got 30 votes when they needed 24.

Cincy owner because he is cheap and doesn't want to spend more money on the future salary cap voted no and Raiders owner voted no.

That is 30-2 final outcome. The Raiders really the only loser yesterday.
