Welcome back.

but grew up in SoCal when I became a fan so I wouldn’t mind them back in LA. No disrespect to any St.Louie residents, but because I don’t live there it doesn’t matter to me if they move (I stuck with them as a fan from their move away from LA and will stick with them if they move again….what can I say, they are my team). I live in AZ now so as long as they stay in NFC West – I get to watch them live once a year at least.

I don’t think I would move the Rams back to LA if I were the new owners. LA lost two football teams in the 90’s due to a lack fan support. I never understood why a city of close to 10 million people couldn’t support a single football team.

Over the past two years we have seen the worst two consecutive seasons of rams football in the history of the rams organization. Once the rams win more than four games (which will happen next year), the stadium will be sold out again.

LA has 10 million people and you can’t sellout the stadium. How pathetic is that?

attendance with ticket sales. All but 5,000 seats are sold as season tickets. The games last year that weren’t sold out were only 1,000 or so tickets short. The empty seats reflected season ticket holders who didn’t bother to attend and throw good money after bad paying for parking and the like. Many of the fans for the other team that everyone talked about were sitting in seats they bought from season ticket holders. The owners already had their money for all those seats back in May when season ticket owners had to send in their checks.

Every story published here says the earliest the Rams could leave is 2015. I’ve never heard of anything that says they can leave any earlier. The lease is pretty clear from what I’ve seen.

Sacramento Rams….Sounds good to me

…this would be awesome news if the Rams land in LA again. I mean, just, phenomenal news. I might even cry with glee. They left before I fell in love with football during the GSOT days. Grown up in LA my whole life. It’d be a dream come true to have a brand new stadium built next to either Staples Center or near the Home Depot Center. This is one Rams fan that would still show up to the games if we’re 0-15 heading into the final week. I’d have season tickets and all. I mean, just wow. I’m sorry if I sound like a selfish d-bag, but as an LA native, we NEED a team, I don’t care if we get the Raiders (well, maybe I DO care if it’s the Raiders, I’d settle for the Bengals). So long as we get the NFL back in LA. If the Rams were that team, I’d like to encourage you guys to support them despite the departure, and know that they do have fans here that will support them, especially if they’re the lone team, flagship of Los Angeles.

…Would be an awesome owner. He’d make Rosenbloom an offer he can’t refuse. :P

the Chargers? They can move much sooner than the Rams. If you really do have a stadium project approved and ready, which seems unlikely since no national news source has picked up the story, the Chargers will be ready to move in a couple of years. The Rams can’t move for six.

And if any team were to move to Toronto, another unlikely situation, it would probably be Buffalo since they are already playing games there.

I don’t put the odds of the Rams staying in St. Louis at more than 50-50, if that, but I’ll be old enough I probably would have given up my season tickets by 2015 anyway.

I don’t know what the probability of a Rams return to LA is. I don’t think it is too likely.
I DO remember the rebirth of the franchise when Rosenbloom bought the team from that idiot who traded the baltimore colts to Dan Reeves for the Rams. He’s the one who hired that ‘genius’ from UCLA, Tommy Prothro, He’s the coach that punted on third down because it was too risky to go for a first. The Rams went from 6-7-1 to 10-4 the year Carrol took over.
When I think about the Rams being sold that’s what I remember. I hope the new owner is a dedicated and smart football man. I want the Rams to be returned to a perennial powerhouse status.

Much to the dismay of the many Rams fans in St. Louis, there is a way this could happen, returning the Rams to Los Angeles.

AEG, the Anshutz Entertainment Group, is a world-class and first-class sports and entertainment organization that by itself, has revitalized downtown Los Angeles. It is owned and operated by Ed Roski and Philip Anshutz who besides being billionaires, have deep, long-standing political connections in Los Angeles and other cities as well. The Staples Center and L.A. Live are just two of their masterpieces. To get a better view of their reach, check out: aegworldwide.com

When USC was having lease and usage issues with the Coliseum Commission over the The L.A. Coliseum, Anshultz offered to build a downtown stadium for USC’s exclusive use. Why USC didn’t take the deal is a mystery but suffice to say, these men are no puppies, they are big dogs.

If anybody could bring the Rams back to L.A, I’d put my money on these guys.
