Rams eyeing return to L.A. ?
This is a quote from fannation.com of an article in the New York Sun which you can find here: http://www.fannation.com/truth_and_rumors/view/55459
And I quote:
Rams eyeing return to L.A. ?
Posted: Friday June 27, 2008 07:53AM ET
There are rumors that the owners of the Rams are looking at Los Angeles as a destination in about seven years, when an escape clause in the Rams' current 30-year deal kicks in: The Rams have to be in the upper 25% of stadium revenues; otherwise ownership is free to move, despite having 10 years left on the lease. Rams owner Georgia Frontiere moved her team from Anaheim to St. Louis after the 1994 season, because the city offered her the keys to the city's new domed stadium, which was built as part of a convention center. The stadium is just 13 years old, but with new stadiums coming on board in East Rutherford, Indianapolis, and Texas and the opening of big revenue-producing facilities in Houston, Massachusetts, Detroit, and Arizona, the Rams' ownership will surely no longer be in the top eight by 2015.

Where did they ever hear this crazy rumor or are the just making up their own rumor. I live in St. Louis and everything I read in the newspaper here is that the owners Chip Rosenbloom and his sister have no intention of returning to LA.

Interesting
As I mentioned in another post, I don’t see a return to L.A. happening. But with all these new stadiums being built, the EJD is going to look less and less appealing from a business standpoint. Renovating the EJD may be the best option, because L.A. just doesn’t make sense.

same article as the fanshot
I put up a fanshot a couple days ago (here) that quoted that same article. I even discussed it a bit, so I’ll hold off here except to say seven years is an eon in sports.

that article
is just covering ground that was already covered. It’s a distinct possibility and one that the city and team will use to try and get a new stadium commitment.
