It would require no public funding. 24 of 32 NFL teams would have to approve the move.

St Louis should just let them leave. They have much better things to spend their monies on than a football stadium.

Don't give in to the blackmail St. Louie!!!

[George Cumby]

Ah. The way it should be.

Now, let's get the Cards back to St. Louis, the Colts to Baltimore and The Ravens to......... Indy?

Bluff.

[smuggler]

Not a bluff. LA is the 2nd largest market in the country and St. Louis is like the 23rd. The franchise becomes much more valuable after that move. Then the dude sells the team. $$$

I believe that Rams owner Stan Kroenke is serious.

The St. Louis RAMS are moving to L.A.

[Harlan Huckleby]

I'm glad to see L.A. reunited with their rightful franchise name. Baltimore should be called Colts, Indianapolis Ravens.

St. Louis is a baseball town. Lets do this.

You don't buy 60 acres of desolate parking lot at a premium price (because other big name corporations were also wanting it) because you think it will grow money trees for you to gain revenue.

The Rams are clearly heading to Los Angeles. This owner gets a new stadium, a Super Bowl hosting gig, and a hefty increase in his investment's value. Staying in St. Louis really doesn't make cents.

What should be done about the Lakers?

What should be done about the Lakers?

Kobe will be gone by the time the Rams get to LA...the city will be ready to embrace a football team for at least a couple years.

Which is why the last two franchises that were there fled it?

AEG (I think I have the acronym right) and the City of Industry's developer both had parcels of land similar in size. Both proposed building stadiums, neither has the prospect of this happening soon and none of the parties have gone bankrupt. Its not even a sure bet they are taking a loss of any kind.

Land doesn't have to have a stadium built on it to appreciate.

I will amend my prediction that its a bluff to include the possibility that he is bluffing about it being completely self-financed. If it is built, it will eventually turn out to be like the Wilf's approx. 50% self-financed and not like the SF Giants stadium that was privately done.

I meant the nickname - 'Lakers' traveled with them when they moved from Minnesota.

Cleveland would like to speak with you about the Rams.
