Try 1/10th. California has about 36 mil, out of the total US population of 300+ mill.
As for most of the East Coast States combined, just Florida and New York together are 37+ mil.
Los Angeles is now one step closer to bringing back the NFL

Early...Just woke up. You are correct
I was talking about geographic size. If you want to talk about population size, my point still stands. You just picked the two largest populous states, which is why I said "most", not "all". If you take the population of most of the other states, CA still has a larger population.
Just woke up. My mind wasn't totally awake yet.The population of California is not 100 million.
Okay, then. How about Texas which is bigger but only has 2 teams? Shouldn't they then get one before California. Or even Alaska?
The problem with LA, is that any NFL team will be overshadowed by USC.
also, California is nowhere near 1/3 the size of the U.S. in area either. It's only 4.3% of the U.S. total area.

So Cali is underrepresented. By that measure, Cali should have 6 teams, since NY and FLA have 3 teams each.
NY only has 1, NJ has the other 2.So Cali is underrepresented. By that measure, Cali should have 6 teams, since NY and FLA have 3 teams each.
So how much is California/taxpayers paying for this stadium, since articles about it seem to omit that?
Edit: OK, Wikipedia says it is to be privately financed, so what is the cost to California that some of you are barking about?

FREE luxury suites for Governor Schwarzenegger and his family, in exchange for favors.
As if the Governor or any other celebrity would have much of a problem being a guest at any luxury suite on any given sunday in any stadium?
An incredible venue at the cost of some investors, why is there even a debate here?

What about Kentucky? We have no professional sports.
You have Cincinnati. That's close enough.

Sure you do...John Calipari just came to town!

It's not a matter of deserving. It's the fact that Jacksonville is not supporting the team by buying tickets. That's what it boils down to.
Things are always done on a favor basis, like the old saying goes: you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours.

Yeah, Yeah, I know. They need to move about 3 hours south so I can go to more games.
There was talk about San Antonio getting a team when they hosted Saints games in 2005. The problem is that the Cowboys are HUGE all over Texas. The Cowboys marketing in their early days was brilliant. They gave away radio rights all over the Southwest and Mexico and built a huge fan base in doing so. San Antonio is full of very loyal Cowboy fans.
Benefits to the economy from both the construction project and dividends once it is a legit venue > old people sitting in a box above the field.
So is that the only reason not to do this now, because of bribes and favors that are believed to happen?
Governator signed the bill today making the project exempt to the environmental lawsuites aimed to stop/modify it.
