Representatives from St. Louis, San Diego and Oakland will all "present their proposals" for new NFL stadiums to a joint meeting of three NFL committees on Nov. 11 in N.Y., according to Thomas & Hunn of the ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH. St. Louis and San Diego "previously discussed their proposed stadium projects with league officials" in N.Y., though this will be the "first time Oakland will make a presentation." The St. Louis Board of Aldermen is "scheduled to hold public hearings on the proposed stadium financing package next week, too." St. Louis’ previous presentation to the NFL came on April 23, but that session "included only members" of the NFL’s Committee on L.A. Opportunities "as well as league officials." Next week’s presentation "could involve as many as 17 team owners over the three committees." Each city "will get 45 minutes to make a presentation, followed by a question-and-answer period" (ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH, 11/4). NFL VP/Communications Brian McCarthy said that team execs "will probably be in the room to hear their cities’ presentations" (S.F. CHRONICLE, 11/4). In California, Scott Reid notes San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer and San Diego County Supervisor Ron Roberts "will attend the meeting next week." St. Louis officials "declined to say who will be attending" the N.Y. meeting, though St. Louis stadium task force co-heads Dave Peacock and Bob Blitz "are expected to make a presentation" (ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER, 11/4). In San Diego, Kevin Acee in a front-page piece notes Chargers Chair Dean Spanos, Rams Owner Stan Kroenke and Raiders Owner Mark Davis "are expected to be present" in N.Y. Faulconer has "met individually with four of the owners on the L.A. Committee." The Nov. 11 gathering "is significant because it gives more than half the league’s owners a chance to vet Faulconer about the reality San Diego can get a stadium built should the league decide to wait another year to fill its 20-year L.A. vacancy" (SAN DIEGO UNION-TRIBUNE, 11/4).
