Could there be an NFL team playing at the Rose Bowl in 2016?
According to NFL vice president of corporate development Chris Hardart, the league issed multiple proposal requests to different, temporary venues in the Southern California area in case one or multiple teams makes a return to the Los Angeles market in 2016.
The Los Angeles Times, which first reported the development, listed the Rose Bowl and the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum as venues which have received proposal requests from the league. Hardart would not specifically confirm any other venues.
Based on the sentiment at this year's league meetings, owners and NFL executives have never sounded more certain about a return to the mega-market in California.
