Louis Rams are moving to LA
“With the passage of time, people might give them a little bit of a pass on how it played out 20 years ago”.
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.
When it rains it pours for Los Angeles pro football fans, because in addition to the NFC’s Rams coming back to the City of Angels, the AFC’s San Diego Chargers are about to pack up and head north to become the Los Angeles Chargers. “Dean will take some time to evaluate the new options that have been created for the Chargers by the owners’ vote”. The dormant contingent of L.A. Rams fans was no more.
“It is troubling that the league would allow for the relocation of a team when a home market has worked in good faith and presented a strong and viable proposal”, said Nixon.
He says he’s hurting with other St. Louis Rams fans. The Raiders and Rams both left Los Angeles after the 1994 season.
The Rams announced they were moving to Los Angeles from St. Louis on Tuesday, and the Chargers were given a one-year option to join them.
“Before we got the USC games”.

Q. The Inglewood stadium is not expected to be completed until 2019.
Rams season tickets for 2016 aren’t yet on sale. St. Louis, San Diego, San Antonio or perhaps sharing Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif. with the San Francisco 49ers are possible future homes for the Raiders, as well as Oakland. 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 performance venue can serve as a home for the NFL Draft, NFL Honors and other NFL-themed events such as NFL Films premieres”, the Rams’ proposal states. “I know it’s important to Pat Bowlen, I know it’s important to our fans”. The team has been playing in Oakland on year-to-year leases. “…We’ll see where the Raider Nation ends up here”. Rams employees spent Wednesday learning about the months of work ahead, and spokesman Artis Twyman said the team hasn’t made any logistical decisions yet about the move.
