Rams, Chargers hold first meeting on sharing LA-area stadium

Gary Woodward said he believes another team will venture over to St. Louis – at least one day. “The sun did come up this morning”.

Stan Kroenke – the Grinch that stole the Rams, have given the City of St. Louis another tab for leaving the fans high and dry. He doesn’t enjoy facing the harsh reality that it probably won’t see another in his lifetime. “I have a home here, and I love the area”.

Another Chargers coach, Harland Svare, was so convinced that Davis had bugged his locker room that he began screaming, “Damn you, Al Davis, I know you’re in there!” as his bemused players looked at each other.

“I don’t think there’s any question, ” McNair said.

And the effort to keep the Rams wasn’t without its critics. “Once I saw it, I sat there thinking to myself, ‘There’s no way that this is going to fail'”.

But what about writers from St. Louis?

“Compared to all other USA cities, St. Louis is struggling”, Kroenke’s team noted in a report to the league shared by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. But there was doom written all over it from the very start.

KROENKE: It allows you certain streams of income to, for example, support the building of an iconic stadium in the second biggest media market in the country, so that’s an attractive proposition. Instead, they went to Carolina and Jacksonville. Sports teams only exist to make money. Just how far did its political leaders bend?

COO Kevin Demoff confirmed several details of the move, saying the Rams will play the upcoming season downtown at the Coliseum, their home from 1946-79. Stay in San Diego and there’s $100 million less Spanos has to spend, plus whatever he can con the city out of in future negotiations. Turns out there are lots of them in the woods up north – just not too many in Phoenix. When Jones became the champion of Kroenke, the Rams and Inglewood, Carson was down for the count.

“I’m not going to lie, ” Mara said.

“The people here, they nearly mocked him”, Dierdorf recalled. Yes, they have had some good times, arguably witnessing the greatest period in Rams football thanks to The Greatest Show On Turf, but now those memories are bittersweet, tinged with the taste of betrayal and regret. Most of us in St. Louis do not hold any ill will toward L.A. fans.

Kroenke’s goal was to build something that would serve as his lasting legacy. Those season ticket holders will also be given the first chance to purchase seats in the team’s new Inglewood Stadium, which is scheduled to open for the 2019 season. Hopefully the team plays better than their probable new name, that’s quite a mouthful, eh!

LOS ANGELES (AP) – The Rams got the response they craved when the franchise began taking deposits Monday for season tickets for its first season back in Los Angeles.

Season ticket prices have not been established, according to the team. “But honestly, they’ve been so bad in recent years that it’s not as big of a loss as if the Blues or Cardinals would leave. And if the A’s were totally committed to winning and not committed to the story that they are the poor little sister, we know what could happen in attendance because it has happened before”. They don’t play for the “fun of the game”. In the last six seasons under Kroenke’s watch, the Rams have gone 36-59 and they haven’t made the playoffs since 2004.
