Sources: NFL Owners To Discuss Program Allowing For L.A. Ticket Deposits Next Week

NFL owners at next week's special L.A.-focused meeting in Chicago "will discuss implementing a program to allow fans to make deposits to get on a waiting list for tickets at a temporary stadium in L.A. before the end of the calendar year," according to sources cited by Mike Garafolo of FOXSPORTS.com. The goal "would be to start building a season-ticket base for the 2016 season now, rather than waiting until it's clear which, and how many, teams will be making the move." No vote on a potential move is "expected to be taken during next week's meeting." Any such vote "isn't likely until late this year, when the three candidates to relocate will be well into the regular season." Fans of a particular team "would be interested in a seat license only if their team eventually moves" to L.A. A source said that the NFL "anticipates that issue and will therefore include a proposal for a rebate on any deposit, contingent on a move" (FOXSPORTS.com, 8/6).
