Go Rams!

The stadium will be done. So many people here are beyond excited for this thing to be over with.

I also do think the Rams will leave before 2014. I know, I know. The lease…

Well, I always think back to loopholes Al Davis found to move back and forth. I’m sure if people stop going to the games and the Rams get desperate enough to get outta there, the team or new owners will find a way out

The Rams need a local group of buyers, much like the Cardinals, that can focus on the team and the communities that the team represents or a larger group of buyers with intentions to keep the team in St. Louis and have the intention to build a winning team instead of just getting a team together.

The Rams have seemed to be a joke more than half the time that they’ve been here in St. Louis. Mainly because the current ownership has not worried about building a winner and keeping the franchise in the up and up after the SB34 winner and the SB26 loser. They can’t seem to put a team together on the field that is respectable, especially fronted by a QB in Bulger that I have no confidence in as far as being a winning QB.

I can’t name anyone on the team that I would really be happy to have anymore. I can’t look at the team and wish I had a jersey of any of the players. Before the winner in 2000, I would have loved an old Bruce jersey, and throughout the winners I had a newer Bruce jersey as well as a Faulk jersey. But when you’re product on the field sucks as it has, I can’t seem to want to support, much less watch the team in person or on TV.

Would I be upset if they moved, yes. Would I be surprised if it actually would happen, no. Everything besides those winning years and 2 SB appearances, I haven’t been impressed with the franchise and everything around it.

How can you build a dome, in the middle of the freaking country, well aware that you designed it with less than the minimum seats needed to host a Superbowl? Seriously? Several thousand more seats, and you would have made the city millions of dollars every handful of years. And a dome? Is it that crappy of football weather in the midwest? KC seems to have no problems with weather, so how wussy are those here in STL that attend the games?

I’m not too sure on the specifics of the current lease on the dome and the specifics of how it has to be in the top whatever percent of the league to remain the home of the Rams, but they need to do a total redo on the dome. Make it a place to support the Rams, rather than just a facility to watch a game once a week that you really only care to see if the team is doing well. Tear off the roof, and add those seats that are needed to host a SB. Or hell, just build a newer facility, completely outdoor field (no retractable roofs in St, Louis please) to the south instead of being on the north side. There’s surely some unused industrial areas just south of the ballpark that could well handle the wear and tear of a stadium and it’s fans.

And the more and more I hear about it, I like the fact that people actually consider the Rams for the Mike Vick pickup. Sure he has had problems and he’s owned up to them and faced his time. He would be a good fit instead of Bulger anyday. Bring in a high profile player that can bring in both positive and negative attention, have the support of the midwestern St. Louis fans, and be a feel good story of coming back around in life and suddenly the St. Louis Rams are in the focus of America and we’re back in business with a QB that they can actually build a team around. I would support the Rams more if they were attempting to win games.

No team should return to LA or move to LA for a first time for that matter. They had two teams on countless occasions and could not support them. There are many teams in California that those people can support. I don’t want to be a Chiefs, Bears, or Titans fan one bit. And shouldn’t the people in LA and CA focus more on the serious problems with power, wildfires each year, and pollution instead of trying to get the Rams or any other team to move there? Doesn’t LA have enough pro sports franchises around the area anyway?

Anywho, I’m ranting a little, but I believe that a franchise should only move if they are in a dire situation where it would be the only option to move. The Rams have pretty good support here, and unless the franchise turns their backs on the city and the community here, I can’t see the support fall.

But looking at the stadium website and the pics, I think the stadium looks garbage.

WTF is up with all the corporate sponsorship in the depictions? From Apple to Sony to Miller to all these other brands. There has NEVER been that much corporate sponsorship at one arena. I have been to the biggest stadium in the league (Redskins) numerous times and never seen that much company signage.

There is now way all of that is going to get built. Why are there 3 random football fields outside of the stadium?!?! What are you going to put inside of 3 football fields that you cannot already put in an NFL stadium? It’s obviously not a practice area so wtf is up with that?

I think the stadium looks horrible and I hope to God the Rams will not call that place “Home”…
