I've been following their potential relocation back home for a long time. Sure, they could play at the Rose Bowl, but the plan I predict is what I feel makes the most sense for a few reasons:
1) In 2013, USC signed an historic lease with the Coliseumfor 98 years, and agreed to pay for at least $70 MILLION in much-needed renovations. The lease agreement states USC GUARANTEES a renovated Coliseum with much-needed upgrades, while preserving the original Coliseum Peristyle-end with the famous Olympic steps, torch, and memorial plaques
2) The distance between the Coliseum and the site of the Rams' new stadium in Inglewood is roughly 7 miles away. This would be an easy temporary move for USC in 2018 to temporarily play in the Rams' stadium while those much-needed renovations at the Coliseum.
3) USC's Athletic Director is former LA Rams' QB, Pat Haden. Pat is already on the record stating he'd love to see the Rams come home.
4) Speaking of "home," the Rams called The Coliseum "home" from 1946-1979, so temporarily moving from the Dome in St. Louis BACK to HOME in Los Angeles would help with the nostalgic Rams fans that remember their time in Los Angeles before Georgia moved the team down the 5 to The Big A in 1980 until 1994.
5) Stan Kroenke is a smart businessman, and will likely recognize the items I've pointed out if he hasn't already done so. He could negotiate a deal with USC to pay for a large portion of the Coliseum's renovations, both as a Thank You to USC for letting the Rams temporarily play there, as well as a show of good faith to the fans of Los Angeles football in general, paying tribute to their time they called the Coliseum home. Likewise, there could be some sort of "gentleman's agreement" that takes place, in which the Rams pay for EVERYTHING at the Coliseum (for themselves, USC events, and other events that may take place) and in turn, USC agrees to do the same at the Rams' stadium starting in 2018 while they temporarily play in Inglewood as the Coliseum gets upgraded.
Calling it now:
1) Stan Kroenke announces our Rams are leaving St. Louis and relocating to Los Angeles following the 2015 NFL Season
2) The Los Angeles Rams announce they will return to their classic GOLD AND BLUE colors and logos
3) The Los Angeles Rams will call the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum its temporary home until the 2018 NFL Season while Stan builds the new stadium in Inglewood, all the while sharing the historic venue with the USC Trojans. Stan and USC negotiate some sort of reasonable, business-minded "gentleman's agreement" to cover costs of using the stadium as the Rams' temporary home
4) In 2018, the Rams move into their new home and invite the USC Trojans to temporarily play there while the historic Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum undergoes much-needed renovations to better accommodate USC Football fans for the next 98 years of USC's lease, of which the Rams probably pay a portion of as a courtesy to using the venue as its temporary home during the relocation phase, as well as a tribute to the years the Rams called the venue it's home in the old days
