Deservedly so.
...and why they went back home.
Deservedly so.
There's plenty of links for this, google is your friend.
Stan Kroenke seeks to borrow about $1 billion for proposed stadium in Inglewood
Rams average home attendance in St Louis:
2015: 52402 - dead last
2014: 57018 - ahead of only the Raiders and restricted Vikings (playing in a small temporary college stadium)
2013: 56947 - ahead of only the Raiders
2012: 56703 - ahead of only the Raiders and Bucs
2011: 56394 - ahead of only the Bengals
2010: 52922 - ahead of only the Raiders and Bucs
"seeks"
The facility, paid for in part by a $1B construction loan Kroenke secured from JP Morgan, is now set to open for the 2020 NFL season as home to the Rams and the Chargers.
For emptiness??
Dumb decision.
Fire Goodell.
This is all his work.
Rams should have never left St. Louis.
Jerry charges $75. So figuring in cost of living indexes, $100 is a steal.
I guess.
Wow.
What's worse - no mass transit in Arlington. It's one reason I haven't been to a Cowboys game at the Death Star. The ridiculous ticket prices being the other.
I've been to 8-10 HS games there. Parking is free and tickets are $10. More in my wheelhouse.
LA + NFL = FAIL
Week 2 attendance
Chargers - 25,381 / 30,000 = 84.6% capacity
Rams - 56,612 / 93,607 = 60.5% capacity
For relational reference:

That's true. The owners wanted it as much as Goodell.They should fire Goodell, but not over this...the owners have wanted a team back in the 2nd largest TV market in the country for ore than 2 decades...they finally got what they wanted.
The gate matters, but I guess to the owners those 20 mil + TV sets matter more.

Well at least the owners are not as a whole. Not the ones who were in the committee who voted to keep the Rams in STL.
Do you know how you secure a loan like that?
Do you know how you secure a loan like that?
By having assets.
Back to square 1. It was Stan's daddy in law that made it possible.
Really irrelevant argument though.
Well there was a committee that's used to see if there should be a vote for relocation and that committee voted against. But the NFL is corrupt so...Yeah, there are some old guard owners who probably voted to keep the Bills and Jags in their respective towns as well...meaning they probably don't want to see any city lose a team.
As we know now, STL was in trouble as soon as Kroenke took full control of the franchise.
Well you do have to admit there is more to do in Los Angeles, than Green Bay. Some people want to do other things, other than go to a NFL game.Kinda unfair to compare a couple recent transplant organizations to one of the most historic and beloved sports franchises in the country, but the Green Bay Packers sold out Lambeau Field for a pre-preseason scrimmage.
Note:
[#2] Los Angeles metropolitan population = 13,310,447
[#157] Green Bay metropolitan population = 318,236
