Rams moved to St. Louis with the provision they be provided a top tier stadium to play in. The CVC and St. Louis have failed to do this, enabling Stan to move. Stan has jumped through all the correct hoops already. He has taken the CVC to arbitration and won, and STILL the Jones has not been upgraded to the standard they agreed to get the Rams in the first place. It wasn't until Stan unveiled his LA stadium did S.t Louis ever mention building a new stadium, (and oh, by the way Stan, you have to pay for half of it and we hire the archetecht, not you). Too little too late IMHO, and it won't fly for St. Louey in court. I'm guessing all the other owners already know this and whatever plays out in the next 9 months is just show to placate the public. Bottm line is Stan is moving the Rams back to LA. by Hacksaw 9 years 1 month ago Total posts: 24523 Joined: Apr 15 2015 AT THE BEACH Moderator Re: JT Meter POST #12 Bubba. Today was a day with a lot of positive spin for StL and your neck of the woods. Oakland not so much and the Chargers are keeping the pedal on the leverage metal. Both those teams would rather stay where they are but it doesn't look like they can get anything done. Especially in SD where poor Spanos won't agree to what the city is offering. Funny thing is, football can be played in those two older stadiums and if you were to ask the fans of those cities if they would rather see the team leave over a new stadium they'd both say, 'no way, we'd rather have our team here, crappy stadium or not'. If Carson is the choice, the NFL is full of crap as it is wiping out 2 markets and going against what the polls say regarding LA's preferred team. F them if that happens.Is the league really making that big a deal out of those situations where they would deny the one of the greatest stadium plans LA could ever hope for which has been their conundrum all along. I just don't know anymore after reading all these OPINIONS from everyone,,,, especially StL fan. Those desperate folks are making big noise lead by their Peacock.I still can't wrap my head around nixing Inglewood to help the feeble Raiders and picky Chargers and even more so the methane pit over Inglewood and all the extras it will provide.No slight to many of the folk in StL but those dudes have been lucky to have the Los Angeles Rams play in their midwest town for 20 years. Time to give them back now. And if the league chooses differently, it will change the opinion of this NFL fan. In honest fact after all this, I may be done. Of course I said that in 95 too.GO RAMS all the way back to LA..... GO RAMS !!! GO DODGERS !!!

It makes it feel more like home. And so far no StL trolls.Agreed. They feel the StL is to big and to great a sports town to lose a team. If it wasn't up against Los Angeles they might be correct. The big difference in this case over most is that Kroenke appears to want LA,, where other used it for leverage or now trying to preserve the stated market share. Which I doubt but that's my opinion.

It makes it feel more like home. And so far no StL trolls.Agreed. They feel the StL is to big and to great a sports town to lose a team. If it wasn't up against Los Angeles they might be correct. The big difference in this case over most is that Kroenke appears to want LA,, where other used it for leverage or now trying to preserve the stated market share. Which I doubt but that's my opinion.
