Wonder how long it will take for St. Louis to get a new team.

im guessing never tbh or atleast not in my lifetime

this makes no sense.

St. Louis should have a bolstering NFL fan base.

I don't buy the BS Kroenke said that the Rams couldn't compete in the St. Louis market with the Cardinals and Blues....Makes no sense why an NFL team takes back seat to an NHL team...

I can see the Cards having the grip on that city, but the blues over the rams?!?!?!? BS.

And if he thinks things were hard competing for market in St. Louis, is this guy completely clueless on Los Angeles?

Maybe the NFL expands with two new teams. St. Louis and London.

They've been talking expansion for years man. I think this was calculated move so the NFL can expand easier. I think the owners saw that. I wouldn't give up hope so easy.

there are probably some old fossils in chicago that can tell you both where to but all your fucks.....

True they did spend more time in Chicago than they have in any other city. However, I'm willing to bet any fans from those days are dead or have long since switched loyalties to the Bears.

you would be surprised on how many people actually like hockey in that area. I never understood the sport but there is a lot of blues people flying around

Be glad you weren't born in city with no pro sports. The best thing in Virginia is probably Virginia Tech, and I hate them.

Probably because the Blues are winning....

I am sure back in the early 00's the Rams destroyed the Blues and probably even the Cardinals.

Simple fact is, a good NFL team will own any market with other pro sport teams.

Well, there is some good news for my Raiders. Goodell said that if the Chargers decide to stay, then the Raiders would have a year to decide to join the Rams in Inglewood. That's exactly where Al Davis wanted to build a stadium, back in the 90's before they left and went back to Oakland.

We have no home. We might be called, America Raiders. Where would we play?

Al wanted Irwindale.

San Diego has the option to join the Rams in LA. The Raiders were left out in the cold.

that wasnt his question.......

Share a stadium with the 49ers for a couple years?

 

[Lakers+USC=#1]

No, that was a threat to LA if they didn't give him a stadium.

Davis want nothing to do with Santa Clarita.

Rams fans should be happy they got to enjoy a team for so long after it was basically stolen from LA. I'm know the fans in St. Louis are dedicated but they never should've had a franchise to begin with.

Unless you are referring to baseball, the bolded is laughably wrong. St. Louis' crowd support was abysmal.

Chargers will meet with Rams tonight and tomorrow to go over details of Inglewood deal. Dean Spanos will take time to mull over options.

because of the constant losing, its easy to gain fans when your winning but you can't continue to be blow .500 for 15+ years and excpect fans to stay when other teams that constantly make the playoffs year after year

If you think it has to do with the constant losing, I don't know what to tell you. Go to Cleveland and you will see Browns gear everywhere on a football Sunday. Go to Buffalo and you will see Bills gear everywhere. Hell, even transplant-based Arizona with all their old people at least feels like gameday on a football Sunday.

In St. Louis City, you can go to a bar on a football Sunday, and it is quite common to see Bears, Packers, Chiefs, etc outnumber Rams jerseys. They turn off Ram games for REGULAR SEASON BASEBALL after nthe Cardinals have clinched the playoffs. I saw the Seahawks play the Rams for $8 in an empty upper deck the year they won the fricking Super Bowl.

Chicago could go 2-14 for a decade and you would never see anything like that. Hell, Chicago has been worse than the Rams the last two years and Bears fans took up at least 1/3 of the Jones Dome and took the cheapest tickets from $10ish buck to $100ish bucks.

St. Louis doesn't deserve an NFL team as much as LA deserves another go at one. In all honestly, Oakland doesn't either (why does the nation's eighth largest metro have two teams?) and San Diego is iffy. With 32 teams, none of them have any reason to take up a slot.

I'm referring to the fact that the Rams never should've left LA to begin with so all the St. Louis Rams fans should just be thankful they had a team at all.

Don't give a fuck where the Rams play as long as they go back to the blue and yellow jerseys
