Have to give the guy credit for a vivid imagination.Ed Roski, the force behind the attempt to build an NFL-worthy stadium on a Carson landfill, a few years back (that point in time when the NFL blew off L.A. and awarded an expansion franchise to Houston), is still at it.

He held a press conference today to talk about the stadium he hopes to build on a tract near the intersection of the 60 and 57 freeways, on the eastern edge of Los Angeles County.

Here is the website Roski and pals created. The url is www.losangelesfootballstadium.com

It has become clear that Los Angeles never will have an NFL team without a new stadium. First.

For a time there, it seemed as if somebody might be able to get a commitment BEFORE the stadium, but no longer. Not when we live in an era where middling cities have so much civic ego tied to being “major league” that they will spend taxpayer money on Taj Mahal structures to keep their spot in The League.

Sadly, for Roski, the easy part of this is building the stadium. The rough part is getting a team.

The NFL is at 32 teams. It’s a very tidy number — two conferences of 16, eight divisions of four franchises. And the NFL has indicated several times that it has no plans to expand again.

Further, the number of teams willing to move … is quite limited. Like, close to zero. If the Chargers are moving forward with a stadium … I don’t know of a single NFL franchise that has even hinted at skipping town.

A few years ago, the Arizona Cardinals might have been available, as well as the Seattle Seahawks. But both got new stadiums — and stayed put.

Once upon a time, like in 1982, Al Davis moved the Raiders down here from Oakland because he thought he could maximize revenues in L.A. while the Rams were down in Orange County. But the NFL is such a share-the-wealth organization that it almost doesn’t matter where your team plays — it gets the same amount of network TV revenue as teams in New York and Chicago.

The one difference appears to be seat licensing and luxury suites, but pretty much every franchise has that now, too. So the advantage of being in the L.A. market is …

Thinking more about the NFL landscape, the only franchises that might — possibly — be interested in a move would be the San Francisco 49ers and Oakland Raiders. Each plays in an old, crummy facility. But it’s nearly impossible to imagine the 49ers in SoCal, and it’s equally difficult to imagine the Raiders — and Al Davis — coming back to the L.A. market. Again. The Raiders still have scads of fans down here, but do decision-makers actually want the Silver & Black around? Not really.

So, this is fun to think about, an NFL team in Los Angeles. But truth be told, it’s going to be extremely difficult to pull off, particularly when taxpayer support will be nonexistent … and most area football fans don’t seem all that unhappy not to have a local team.

Good luck, Ed Roski. You’re going to need it.
