You ever ask yourself why a market like LA doesn't have a football team when it's like one of the biggest market in the world? I'll tell you why. They use LA to get other cities to fund their new stadiums. If we as tax payers don't pay up, they'll leave.
So now not only do corporations not pay their fair share of taxes, some of them make us subsidize them financially or they'll leave. What a scam.
Why can't the Rams stay in St. Louis and LA start their own god damn team?
Keeping the Rams was not without its critics. A new stadium would've required hundreds of millions of dollars of public money.

true.another reason why LA was without a team for so long is while they badly wanted a tea,they have stood fast the past decade or so and said they did not want a team that required tax payers to foot the bill which is why they waited till now to have a privately funded team.
that is why the greedy NFL owners tried really hard to stop the inglewood site and have carson built because since kroneke footed the bill with his OWN money and built it with his own dime,other cities will start wanting the same thing and tell the NFL-build your own damn stadium,you got the money. kroneke did it in LA,so can you
thats the way it SHOULD be.thats what these greedy owners are worried about now.lol
we can only hope they get wise and start catching on anyways.
the reason this time around was different than in years past that LA was being used as leverage for new stadiums in their cities is because just about every team around the country has gotten a new stadium or refurbished it so having the rams back in LA was the right time to stop using LA as leverage for other cities.
It was simple as pie to understand that this time was different and the rams would be back.st louis is bankrupt in millions of debt trying to pay off the CURRENT stadium,so it was laughable as hell to think they could get fund a new stadium.comedy gold.logic and common sense never registered with people around here like mad nutcase when i tried to explain that back then though just to watch it go through one ear and other the other with the,

that is WHY in the end they gave kroeneke the green light for the new stadium is because he agreed to house a 2nd team.so actually they STILL have the LA threat card they can use.
From what I heard St. Louis sold out every home game. Is that not true? Even losing seasons and the fans still support the team? Sounds to me like the fans got hosed. The Rams should have stayed in St. Louis, the new owner should, instead of having to pay a billion dollars for a new team, he should be given a team and then its his responsibility to build a new stadium. Sounds like there is a market in St. Louis for a football team. Why are they being denied?
Dude havent you learned by now you can NEVER believe what the LAMESTREAM media tells you?
Dude you obviously have been hearing that narrative from the LAMESTREAM media who obviously has been getting their narrative from the spin of likes such as st louis sportswriters hacks bernie mikeletz and shane grey,those two are the most delusional sports hacks you'll ever come across.they were in denial to the last second that the rams were not leaving,those two guys ALWAYS plant stories in the media in favor of the Rams that the national media spins.
that could not be any further from the truth.Had you paid any attention to looking at the seats in the stadium when you watched the rams and lions play when your Lions played them back in december,you would have noticed back then that the place was a ghostown.
st louis sports hacks shane grey and bernie whats his name,if you call them out for their lies at their sports columns they write they ban you,they hate hearing the truth.
the Rams should have stayed in st louis? I KNOW you are not being serious and are joking?



the truth is st louis is a HORRIBLE market for NFL football.Its a great baseball town and hockey town but horrible for NFL football.
Here read this article from this st louis sportswriter,I actually have respect for him unlike those two idiots bernie and shane grey because HE tells the truth.





























Rams vs. Seattle: Plenty of good seats available : Sports
How far down are ticket sales? Demoff said team policy is not to reveal such numbers. But the “tickets distributed” numbers for home preseason games against Indianapolis and Kansas City tell you all you need to know.
The numbers for those games were 37,460 for Indy and 37,616 for KC. Some of those 37,000 were giveaways, but preseason games normally generate next to nothing in terms of single-game sales.
The moral to the story? The Rams’ season-ticket base is at minimum below 37,000. And unless the Rams have a monumental week in terms of single-ticket stales, we’re talking about an opening-day “crowd” of maybe about 40,000 in the 66,000-seat dome. Which easily would be a low for the Rams in St. Louis for a home opener, and probably a low for pro football in St. Louis going back to the days of the football Cardinals.
If you go by the number of tickets DISTRIBUTED,then yeah you would think the place was packed.But the ACTUAL BUTTS IN THE SEATS,are an entire different ballgame altogether.
the fan support there has been so horrific the last several years that Kroneke obviously was buying up those tickets because had he not,it would have been embarrassing for everyone to look in the sports section and see that no more than 30,000 or so were showing up for the games.







I went to the home opener against seattle this year and my guess was that there was not more than 25,000 people there.30,000 at the MOST.

and the majority were seahawk fans.thats the way it always was there with the opposing fans greatly outnumbering the home team fans the last 10 years or so,











Dude they are bandwagon fans,when they are winning sure they go out and cheer them on and fill the stadium,but the last 13 years or so when they were crappy,the stadium got less and less popular every year.
they are not like the raider fans in oakland.raiders fans in oakland have had just as much of a crappy product on the field that long a period of time as well but unlike in st louis,THEY sold out all their games this year because unlike in stank louis,they are loyal and dedicated fans.
