Louis Rams Officially Moving Back to Los Angeles

What about the Raiders?

In his application to move the Rams, Kroenke misrepresented St. Louis’s economic status when he wrote that the city “lags and will continue to lag far behind in the economic drivers that are necessary for sustained success of an National Football League franchise”, according to the complaint.

The vote means that Kroenke can get started nearly immediately on his $1.86 billion stadium project in Inglewood, California.

The decision ends the NFL’s 21-year absence in Los Angeles.

“It truly is bittersweet”. “We understand the emotions involved of our fans”. Tickets need to be sold and schedules need to made, among other things. We’ll be working really hard to find us a home and that’s what we’re looking forward to.

The Rams will likely play in the Los Angeles Coliseum until a proposed stadium in Inglewood is built in 2019.

Still, all parties were more concerned with the potential long-range benefits.

And they also have the word of Kroenke, who stood in front of his fellow owners and pledged he will work fairly and honorably with Spanos and them. The votes also stipulate that the Chargers have an option to join the Rams in one year, but if they decline, that option will be given to the Raiders. Faulconer said he believes the city can put into motion the convention center expansion and a plan for a new Chargers stadium in 2016, two major infrastructure projects the city has talked about tackling for years. The city’s plan would build on the same site.

“Today isn’t about the past”, Faulconer said in a clear reference to the strained relations between the city and Spanos camps. (The Rams paid a meager $500,000 per year to use the dome.) And then there’s the more than million in public funds used to develop a $1 billion riverfront stadium proposal to keep the Rams-a pitch NFL Commissioner Roger Gooddell knocked as “inadequate” and “unsatisfactory”. Many expressed anger with Kroenke.

Q. The Raiders have a creaky, old stadium and the city isn’t even close to a proposal for a new one. The dormant contingent of L.A. Rams fans was no more. We have historic players. The Raiders played in Los Angeles from 1982-94 and now split a facility with Major League Baseball’s Oakland Athletics, the last remaining combination stadium. “I’m very happy, very happy”.

“I don’t know where we’ll be”, Davis told La Canfora.

With the quest to get back to Los Angeles finished, the process of re-entering the market and eventually dominating it immediately commences.

The Rams left for St. Louis the same year the Raiders left for Oakland.

“It’s something that I never thought I’d see again”, said Rodney Lusain, 44, of Inglewood. “If we can reduce wait time, line time, getting in the gate, buying a hot dog, getting them to their seat so they can enjoy the action, then that’s what we’re going to do”, Furin said. “You stay on the west coast”.
