It's been over 20 years since both the Rams and Raiders left the city of Los Angeles for St. Louis and Oakland respectively, leaving the second largest city in the country without an NFL football team, and a gaping hole in the sports market for Angelenos such as myself. Ever since then, fans have been yearning for their beloved football teams to come back.

While others have had to feel the pain of potential relocation.

However, in the following years, teams like the Jacksonville Jaguars, Atlanta Falcons, and even Minnesota Vikings were all rumored to have packed their bags for Southern California because of their lack of funding for stadiums. However, all three of those teams had their concerns met, leaving three potential buyers for the LA sweepstakes--a move that seems to be coming full circle. After years of battles over inefficient stadiums and city funding, the St. Louis Rams and Oakland Raiders have become key teams for potentially moving back to the city of Angels. The final team, So Cal's own San Diego Chargers, have also reared their heads into the Los Angeles conversation. Of the three teams in the mix, only two new stadiums have been proposed -- with one being in the suburb of Carson.

And the other located at the site of the former Hollywood Park Race Track in Inglewood.

The Carson project is a still up in the air, while the Inglewood project is being spearheaded by Rams' owner Stan Kroenke. And after countless weeks of speculation, LA's football dreams may be coming to fruition, but for San Diego, Oakland, and St. Louis football fans, it may seem more like a nightmare. Especially since the commissioner of the NFL himself, Roger Goodell, publicly stated that the current stadiums in Oakland, St. Louis and San Diego are "unsatisfactory and inadequate."

Potential meetings are slated to take place between NFL officials and owners before anything is decided, but with the 2015 season coming to a close within the next few weeks, there may be an NFL team in LA by the time this article is published. It is highly unlikely that all three teams would come to the city, as that would not only potentially over-saturate the market, but also provide logistical concerns for the Chargers and Raiders playing in the same division--if they were both to play in the same city, they would have an unfair advantage, by playing essentially an extra home game every year. Regardless, it seems more likely every day since the relocation announcement that at least one team will officially be granted a move. So what does this mean for Angelenos?

For one, traffic! Expect a lot more traffic on Sundays. Particularly at the 405 and 105 intersections if a team moves to Inglewood

Secondly, competition!

Up until this point, the only beacon for LA pro sports was downtown and LA Live. Now that a team might come to Carson or Inglewood, citizens from farther parts of the county have the option to be a part of a boisterous and emerging sector for entertainment and economic growth.

Finally, be weary of gentrification.

With the joy and excitement that comes with pro sports and the economic advantages it brings, LA should also be concerned about the potential dangers of putting stadiums in historically working class and minority dominated cities like Inglewood and Carson. The huge influx of entertainment and land development in these areas could very easily turn this beautiful concept...

Into a bad "South Park" episode.

Nevertheless, these are exciting times to be an LA sports fan, and whatever team that decides to call LA home will be received with loving, caring, and open arms.....

.....until they start losing of course.
