No Winner on First Vote
Nathan Fenno of the Los Angeles Times reports that neither plan on the table received the mandatory 24 votes on the first ballot. The Rams/TBD plan in Inglewood received more votes than the Chargers/Raiders plan in Carson. The Rams are denying a report that Stan Kroenke threatened the owners they would guilty of collusion if the Carson site was chosen.
NFL owners completed their first vote. Neither project got required 24, but Rams/TBD in Inglewood gets more votes than Carson.
