Rams Fans United - Los Angeles Rams Fan Discussion Forum

Anyone hear when the NFL is going to release their findings on their market study? I think its going to play a signifigant part in the rams potential move to LA. Its well known that Corporations have bee leaving St. Louis. Last year, out of the 126 corporate suits/luxury boxes, only 86 were sold. I don't know how many corporate suites they have planned for the riverfront stadium. Kroenke's proposed stadium is said to have over 200 suites of different sizes, some as large as seating over 150. I can't imagine even one going unsold. 10 minutes from LAX? Coporate out of towners can come in to catch a game while there doing business, in and out quickly. those boxes go for millions. Owners love them.
Just saying I think that market study, depending on how the NFL intreprets it, is going to be huge. I believe its going to be the final nail in St. Louis coffin as far as the owners are concerned. It will be the final thing they need to approve Kroenke's move to LA. I'm also guessing they already know about the results, and are waiting for the right time to come out with it. they still want things to play out a while long.
I told myself "This is how they're going to justify voting in favor of La over St. Louis" even if St. Louis comes up with a plan for another Stadium. No way can St. Louis compete with LA in a market study.

Idk why it's not out yet. They're allowed to realease it.

Timing is everything.

They're allowed to release them but not required, afaik, we may never see them in their entirety.

We did get this little tidbit from JJ:

“With the initial focus groups and the initial [look-sees], the Rams are a very popular team in Southern California,”

Exactly,,, although I have heard the Raiders are more popular,, but I've never seen that article nor do I know who might have posted it. Although I could guess.

Nor do I believe it.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Raiders have more fans, certainly in L.A. County. That's been my sports bar experience. But i'm also willing to bet they have less money for PSLs, boxes and sponsorships behind them than the Rams...

It's always bothered me that James Garner would always attend Raiders games and was associated with them instead of the Rams. I was such a big fan of his that I wanted him to be a Rams fan.

Don't ask me what that has to do with anything.

Rockford did time in San Quentin...

he also wore Paul Drake's sport jacket!

I bet Drake was a Rams fan...
