expect Rams to be back in LA next year.

Mike, as a Lawyer you know that the League can not prevent any team from moving anywhere they want, it violates anti-trust laws.

Why do you keep ignoring the Al Davis move of the Raiders to LA? He won in court that he or any owner can move without league approval. Yet you act like it could never happen again.

Were I in Vegas and the casinos had odds posted on who will move to LA, my significant wage would be on St. Louis. Neither the Chargers nor the Raiders have the “pockets” to deal with the NFL; the guy in St. Louis does. And, just as a responder has already noted, none need approval from the NFL. One has the ability to do it all by himself and the other two must get help. So, the only question is whether Mr. Rams really wants to move. Note the key words is “wants”.

Why is LA the destination? How many teams have moved there are failed?”

No team ever moved to LA and failed. Two teams moved to LA, the Cleveland Rams and the Oakland Raiders. The Rams stayed for 48 years, the Raiders for 13. What happened was simple: LA would not put up money for a new stadium, so the teams went to cities that would. The Rams tanked to drive attendance down, so they could make the argument to move from a city they had been in for nearly 50 years. The Raiders moved because Al Davis was … Al Davis, and got Oakland to put up money for a refurbished Coliseum.

The only other team to ever leave Los Angeles was the LA Chargers, who played the first year of the fledgling American Football League in Los Angeles before going to a permanent home in San Diego.

The three teams in the title of this post are the only ones tied to LA. They’re playing in stadiums that are considered sub-par, in small markets, with year-to-year leases. The NFL is going to have to manage this carefully because, as Al Davis proved, a team can move to another city without the NFL’s say-so.

Kronke could buy and sell every owner but Paul Allen. He’ll do whatever he wants. His wife is very rich. She’ll determine what the Rams do.

Love all the St Louis fans still banging on the past teams have failed in LA. LOL. More Kroenke already has the moving trucks ready to roll. When it comes to $$$$$ and ” behind the scene deals, Kroenke is king.

To those that keep saying Al Davis did it stop. There wasn’t huge amounts of tv revenue on the line then. Kroenke will get the ok and be granted permission to move. Besides, St Louis is NOT going to have all the Ts crossed and Is dotted on it’s stadium plan in time. Picking someone for naming rights means nothing. The initial supposed stadium in downtown LAnhad naming rights to Farmers and it me at nothing

St. Louis fans are about to lose another team

  1. Newsflash — that stadium St. Louis built for the Rams about 20 years ago still hasn’t paid for itself. The City owes a lot of money on it. And now St. Louis is supposed to build the Rams a new stadium?

    To stay in Oakland, St. Louis, and San Diego, those teams want those cities to buy them a stadium. But they’re begging to build their own stadiums in LA so they can play here. What does that tell you?

    So no, the citizens of LA aren’t going to buy a stadium for a billionaire NFL owner. We know that whole “pays for itself” thing is nonsense.

    And you guys who say LA isn’t a “football town” need to pay more attention to the discussions the grown ups are having. Learn to follow the money.

The Raiders willNOTrelocate to San Antonio. Jerry Jones will be on highway with a shotgun making those moving vans turn around. No way is he allowing the Raiders (who certainly have a following in Texas & Mexico) to be anywhere in that state.

LA people support winners. The only way NFL football will work is to have a wildly successful team there…the fact that 3 struggling teams are vying for Los Angeles is a vain effort.

A team there could try to get corporate dollars to buy up season tickets to hand out to their employees, but those employees still won’t go to watch a losing team, not when there’s so much more entertainment options available in Los Angeles. And having all of America watch empty seats on TV when the newly-relocated Los Angeles team is on, that will be the NFL’s worst nightmare.
Look at the 49ers now. Look at all the tickets available for sale on Stubhub. Look at all the fire-sale prices for PSL’s that 49ers ticket holders are trying to dump. And their new stadium is only one year old.

If the 49ers are going through this with their “faithful” fans, what makes the NFL think that the LaLa’s will support a bad NFL team?

About those relocation guidelines | The NFL in L.A. with Vincent Bonsignore

So I am watching NFL Insiders,one guy is saying that the owners are discussing the moving fees that will be in the hundreds of millions of dollars,ok only one owner has that kinda bread,Stan the man,now this other guy is saying that maybe Noone would be in LA in 2016,is he crazy or what? I am really starting to think that,the NFL knows that Stan has a plan and they know they can't stop him therefore they are causing all these distractions,really I don't care ,just move I was at a game in St Louis the place was full of Seahawks fans,and almost half the stadium was empty
 
Hey, all. Check out the‪#‎NFL2LA‬segment on the show last night. It's about 1 hour & 50 minutes into the show so you can fast forward. You'll hear analysis on the latest developments regarding the Rams anticipated return to LA in relation to yesterday's NFL Owners meeting. Also, the possibility of the vote on relocation & stadium site being delayed until January & why that may be the case.
