Heading to Los Angeles

[J-Rod]

I'm from Maryland so I'm fine with staying or moving, just TELL US. I want the talks to be over. It's bad enough that our team needs work, we don't need other questions like where we will be playing in 2016.

I'm curious to see what St. Louis will offer. We'll find out very soon.

And I agree with Redseat, I can't see how no tax payer money will not be used in the construction of a new stadium.

I don't remember seeing Kroenke at any Ram's home games so I guess that speaks for itself... Fuck him.

Shane, he was actually at every home game. I was on the sidelines during pregame of 5 games and he was there talking with Demhoff and Snead. But that still means nothing. He is a business man. He is going to do what is best for his bottom line. If that is LA, so be it. If that is selling the land in LA to someone else to build a stadium, so be it. If it is staying owner of the Rams and staying here, so be it. If it is selling the Rams to a St Louis group and taking his ball to LA to get an expansion team, so be it. Any way this gets sliced, I will be a Rams fan til the day I die!!@

because its just not a stadium. its a hugh sports complex with a concert venue, restaurants i think even housing. its like a mini city. there are many investors to help him pay for it. looking at it from his point of view he doesn't care if its tax payers or investors. he still doesn't pay for it all. and he will make way more money in LA. because he needs more money. 10 billion doesn't go as far as it use too.

BINGO!

idk what to do :l

He is also really patient. My guess is that he is trying to get LA to cough up a lot of money AND get STL to cough up a lot of money. I'm sure his goal is to get a new stadium in both spots and have an NFL team in both spots.

Can you own two teams?

I mean hasn't basically every stadium built had to have some sort of public tax funding?

probably. thats his ace in the hole to be able to say he doesn't need help.

According to Bleacherreport's Jason Cole, Kroenke is moving the Rams to LA with or without approval.

Truth is most owners do the same. They don't want to deal with the political process of having to get the "ok" from the NFL and there's not much the NFL can really do about it. As much as it sucks for STL fans it's a win win for the Rams.


More money for the NFL and it's owners
and the 2nd biggest market in sports gets a NFL team.

Inglewood?

When you are playing with Kroneke's kind of house money, you can basically tell the NFL to stick in their ear especially when investors are lining up to get a piece of this action.

Must be nice to be able to tell the NFL to kiss your backside.

Yeah and he will be the top big dog owner so none of them will want to cross him.

There are a lot of could and maybes in these articles. But I cant fault the guy for wanting to make money.
