There is a lot of talk about the Chargers or Raiders joining the Rams in their new stadium and it got me thinking about the whole stadium sharing thing. While IMO the ideal situation is a team gets their own building, I can totally understand joint ventures among different sports such as the Lakers and Kings but the same league is a different animal.
If I'm honest the intellectual side of me struggles with being a sports fan sometimes but at the end of the day I can suspend belief enough to say **** it and enjoy it for what it's worth. However, I simply could not imagine being a fan of a team that shares it's venue with another team...in the same sport...same league...same division...etc. I simply could not rationalize it. It obliterates what little pretense there is left and simply says **** you, you're an idiot, give us your money.
