Louis Rams legend Holt calls move to LA ‘ kinda sad’

“When we had our first vote, we did not have the necessary number of votes to approve the proposal, so it was a matter of trying to determine what our owners wanted and what kind of compromise we could come up with that would satisfy enough of them”, Houston Texans owner Bob McNair said. On the other hand, that announcement stemmed from the fact that neither the Chargers nor Raiders renewed their leases in San Diego and Oakland.

Flanagan also tweeted: “While there’s Framework of chargers/rams deal.still moving parts/many details that need to be hashed out”.

That leaves Spanos son A.G. Spanos, the Chargers’ president of business operations, crunching numbers and weighing their options.

The reasons are obvious: There are tickets to sell and possibly an entire franchise to move.

Where will the Chargers play this year if they elect to move to L.A.? Case even bought a satellite during his latest tour in Afghanistan so he could watch Chargers games and “feel a little closer to home”.

Kroenke, owner of a sports empire that includes the Rams, Denver Nuggets, Colorado Avalanche and Arsenal soccer team, recently shared his thoughts on leaving St. Louis in a lengthy interview with the Los Angeles Times.

Here’s an idea nearly anyone in Olympic circles would love: a $2 billion stadium they don’t have to pay for.

A key for Kroenke’s plan was getting the more powerful owners on his side. According to NFL sources, Kroenke is well aware the eyes of the league are on him, and he has every intention of being a good partner.

“It didn’t affect me”, Olvera said of the move.

The vote would also give the San Diego Chargers the option to move to the city within a year, should they decide to leave their current home.

The Chargers could go to L.A.as tenants.

What few people have noted is just how inexorably painful the National Football League has made their departure by handling it in the worst way possible. “Have a vote. Get finality”. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, among others, heaped praise upon his vision for Los Angeles.

-Back in 2006, leaders of an attempt to make San Francisco the American bidder for the 2016 Games bailed out suddenly, upon hearing news that plans for a stadium there had cratered. The Rams could practice there for a couple of months as they settle in and then move to another spot for the 2016 season. San Diego deserves better.

When the Rams spent two days in Oxnard, California, last August for training camp, a widespread rumor claimed the Rams are interested in building a permanent base in Thousand Oaks, the upscale suburb 35 miles west of downtown Los Angeles.
