expect Rams to be back in LA next year.

this guy nailed it.he actually knows what is talking about unlike alot of posters here.

  1. Why not a team in LA its guaranteed to make money… Why everyone so scared for LA or dont think it will get suport? Hello its the 2nd biggest market & its not because fans didn’t follow the last teams that left.. the city wouldnt build new stadiums.. Lol, like its going to effect your team… Swear anything new to the NFL get mad complaints on here…
 
answer and question session with Bill mcclellan saint louis post columnist.

" I dont think he's angeling for a new stadium.I think he is angeling to get to los angeles."

"roger goodell says there is no need for saint louis to panic.what is your take on this?"

"when the fast talking guys in expensive suits tell us not to panic,its probably already too late to do anything."

McClellan FAQs on the St. Louis Rams drama News
 
very true.

Funny how much different one owner is from another. Jerry Jones is always looking for a camera to jump in front of and express his opinions. The late Al Davis used the media to stir the pot in his efforts to move his Raiders and get major stadium upgrades accomplished. And then there's silent Stan, who very quietly purchases 60 acres in Hollywood after St. Louis says NO to $400 million in upgrades to the Edward Jones Dome. Fans and media anylists can only speculate about what this billionaire is up to. But I'm betting Roger Goodell is in on whatever silent Stan is up to. Reminds me of another owner who years ago had moving trucks come in the middle of the night and pack up and move his Colts to Baltimore. Talk about fan outrage! All we can do is wait for something to happen. But one things for sure, silent Stan's up to something. And right now it doesn't look to good for football fans in St. Louis.
 
sad but true.
Another fact free Bill McClellan column, minor point 1st, Portland does have pro-sports, 2nd there's nothing in the article about the Ed Jones Dome. I hope the Rams stay BUT I understand Kroenke's problem, the Rams have the worst stadium in the NFL., that's the issue. If we had a good stadium NOBODY would be talking about LA.
 
true as well.

Greg Gibson He will make 10 times the return on his investment in L.A. than he would in STL.
 
well said.

Either St. Louis gives Kroenke what he wants or he takes his team back to L.A. And it probably makes very little sense for St. Louis to give him what he wants. The NFL will most certainly approve the move. It really would benefit from a team back in L.A. When the L.A. and Riverside metro areas are combined, there are more than 17 million residents in the area, dwarfing St. Louis. And while St. Louis is larger than many metro areas with a team, it is in the bottom four in attendance (in fact, only Oakland had a lower average attendance for home games than the Rams) and is in the bottom four in population growth of metro areas with an NFL team (only Detroit, Cleveland, and Buffalo -- all of which are shrinking -- have lower growth rates than St. Louis for metro areas with an NFL team). Meanwhile, the combined statistical area of L.A. & Riverside continue to grow at a healthy rate. Finally, as the article states, the Rams have a history in L.A. which makes it a better fit than any other team being considered. When considering attendance, metropolitan area population, and population growth trends, three teams stand out as relocation candidates, Buffalo, Jacksonville, and St. Louis. If Buffalo relocates, it would likely be to Toronto, so that leaves Jacksonville and St. Louis.

I'd say it is more likely than not that the Rams are heading back to L.A. after its lease with St. Louis expires.

yep.

David and Jim, here is your proof. Believe it. Can St. Louis do the same so they do not put their tax payers in debt?

Besides San Francisco, new NFL stadiums are set to open in Minnesota in 2016 and Atlanta in 2017. Should a 2016 ballot measure here come to fruition and win approval, a new stadium could be ready by 2018 or 2019, shortly after the 20-year Qualcomm naming rights that cost the tech giant paid $18 million for in 1997 expire.

nonetheless,we are contiuning to work on this project,and we hope that our ongoing meetings with the majors-

the draft coming to LA? further proof the rams are coming back since a city cannot hot a draft if it does not have an NFL TEAM.
Goodell told the "Rich Eisen Podcast" on Monday that Los Angeles mayor Eric Garcetti has joined Emanuel in aggressively pitching their cities for the 2015 NFL Draft. Mayors from other cities also have been in contact with Goodell.

  • Los Angeles
    For cultural variety and sheer glitter, however, LA outshines them all. It has stunning weather that New York and London just can't compete with, the amazing beaches to show it off, world-class art, movie history, an endless parade of famous attractions, an improving crime rate and a certain well-known sign in the hills. After years of languishing, the City of Angels has top spot in the brand firmament
