Louis, we know the feeling

The Rams, who are owned by billionaire Stan Kroenke, were one of three teams hoping to relocate to LA, alongside the Oakland Raiders and the San Diego Chargers.

The process of relocating a franchise is not one of ease. “It’s painful for the fans, the communities, the teams, for the league in general”.

The Rams will begin playing in Los Angeles next season – at the L.A. Coliseum – while waiting for a new stadium in Inglewood, California, part of Greater L.A., to be completed.

Dean’s son A.G. Spanos, the Chargers’ president of business operations, said the Chargers are deliberating while weighing their options and “We’re still crunching the numbers”.

The Chargers play 120 miles south of Inglewood in Qualcomm Stadium.

They would have the chance to move to Los Angeles if the Chargers turned down the option.

Tampa Bay Lightning goalie Ben Bishop grew up in Missouri and was a fan of the NFL’s St. Louis Rams.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said of the planned new stadium, “We have a facility that is going to be absolutely extraordinary, and that is going to set a new bar”. So for our fans and everything else, don’t feel bad.

Pete Carroll just gained a yearly homecoming. The Chargers walked away from negotiations with the city and have focused their efforts on the Carson project. Kroenke, however, was not satisfied with the deal, and the league evidently agreed with him. The rest of the money comes from the state, either through tax credits or bonds.

The Chargers met with the National Football League late Tuesday night, trying to hammer out details of their option to move to Inglewood with the Rams.

Davis ruled out moving the Raiders to St. Louis to fill the void left by the Rams but said all other options would be considered, including a move to San Diego should the Chargers vacate the city.

The St. Louis proposal calls for an open-air, $1.1 billion stadium along the Mississippi River north of the Gateway Arch to replace the Edward Jones Dome. Both are in the Los Angeles market.

The NFL is willing to give Spanos an extra $100 million to put toward a new stadium in San Diego, on top of the $200 million loan he’s entitled to.

Breitbart News previously reported on the three teams vying for the two separate Los Angeles stadium projects. It’s a seismic decision that returns the highest level of professional football to the country’s second-largest media market after a 21-year absence.
