and the raiders played there during their time in l.a.
the thing is, it's old, and many earthquakes and age have done a lot of damage and erosion to it.
ever usc doesn't want to play there anymore.
the nfl, and usc, have both said the colisseum needs major retrofitting to even be remotely considered suitable for a possible expansion team.
usc is now telling city hall an ultimatum of "fix the colisseum or we won't play there anymore!"
so these have been the main sticking points for years.
