Well if the NFL/Kroenke suit goes anything like this one, there will be a settlement...

Lock it. Start a new thread about Stan vs the NFL.

Thanks again for all the local intel through this process.
It sounds like StL is now in the rear view. Hopefully the community uses that settlement award for some good and not just to pay off all the lawyers.

Did the settlement include Rams' Park?

The lawyers get 30% because they were doing this on contingency. They were getting 30% whether the settlement was $1.00, $18 million, $790 million or $12 billion.

As I've said before my guess is it gets plowed into the convention center. There are two plans: one to remodel and another to tear down the whole thing (maybe the Dome also) and build fresh like Nashville did.

The Rams are still in Los Angeles.
Stan Kroenke still increased his wealth by moving the team to Los Angeles.
St. Louis still does not have a team.
There are a lot of lawyers who made a lot of money on this case.
None of this will impact the Rams' fortunes this year or in the future.

+1 Also, St. Louis will surely waste their ill-gotten gains.

I dont have a dog in this fight at all, but I know the development business as I have been involved in for 30+ years. ESK was going to move the team no matter what STL did, he didnt buy that land without the intent of moving the team. Now he has the right to move the team, it just did it in a fairly underhanded way which is validated by the 790 million.

The only thing the $790M validated was that bad judges can create unjust outcomes.

I don't buy that Kroenke was going to move the team no matter what STL did. If STL had been willing to uphold their end of the lease, the NFL absolutely would have kept the Rams in STL. LA would have still gotten two teams, but neither of them would have been the Rams.

There it is, all that needs to be said. Just money moving from one medium to the next and a whole lot of hand wringing for nothing. Won't impact average Joe citizen.

It would amaze me when Bernie Miklasz would try and pretend the team wasn't moving up until the end.

He was going to move, and the Carson product as I mentioned in a post above, was always a sham. That thing was never going to be built.

Any city. About 12 years ago the city of Chicago sold a 75 year lease to all the parking meters in the city to a private equity firm and UAE company for nearly $2 billion. The money was all spent in 4 years. Not until 2085 or 2086 will Chicago be back to getting any revenue from street parking.

I got my popcorn, I am really curious to watch Stan try and wiggle out of paying this...
