Vikings have a lease on their stadium through 2010/1011 season so moving them before that could be dicey.

IF the league really wants a team in LA, they ought to be able to handle this prior to the 2011 season.

Personally, I think the league really does NOT want a team in LA. They want LA to be that "big market where a stadium might be built to take a team " and use that as a lever to get new stadiums built for existing teams in places like Minnesota and Louisiana and Indy (already done) and Arizona (already done) and San Diego (already done).
