The other thing is that the stadium situation in STL is moving along swiftly. I don't understand how the NFL can abandon a market that is willing to build them a stadium. There's no way that can happen. There's a lot of moving parts but if they break ground on the STL stadium, which is seems like they're heading straight towards (and at a rapid pace), I just can't see how the NFL can screw over a city like that.cprice12 wrote:They said the other day that Kroenke has said he has the votes needed from the owners to move the team.
I'm not sure how Kroenke can have his votes to move the team and the Chargers' owner can have his votes to block the move...both have now said they have the votes. Someone is lying.
I like that last option best. Rams stay here and the one part of them that I hate goes away.dmiles2186 wrote:The other thing is that the stadium situation in STL is moving along swiftly.

That said, Kroenke could still move of course. There's also the possibility he buys the Raiders from Davis, moves them to LA, and sells the Rams to someone who will keep them here.
That would be ideal, I agree.cardsfan04 wrote:I like that last option best.

He has to talk with local officials, otherwise he hasn't exhausted all efforts to remain in St. Louis, which is required by the NFL.JesusNEVERexisted wrote:LOL..the biggest problem with the stadium proposal is Kranky doesn't even TALK to local officials much less pitch in a quarter of a BILLION dollars which MUST be done for the stadium to go through!
Yup. They have an LA stadium proposal as well now.glen a richter wrote:I saw the Raiders and Chargers are in talks about sharing a stadium in LA.
STL is moving along with building their stadium too. How can the NFL justify leaving a market that is willing to build 2 stadiums for them 25 years apart? You are leaving out so many variables.JesusNEVERexisted wrote:But they also said it's unlikely arch rivals like the Chargers and Raiders would share a stadium AND Kranky is a lot further along in getting his stadium done in the LA area.
Most all experts agree that billionaires get what they want and that eventually Kranky will be able to move his team to LA if he wants to.
You're forgetting one thing. All officials here in the Show Me state have said they will NOT break ground on this stadium UNLESS they get assurances that we have an NFL team. Kroenke is certainly not giving them that and the NFL even said Kroenke could still move the team even if a new stadium is built!dmiles2186 wrote:STL is moving along with building their stadium too.

Who is "they"?JesusNEVERexisted wrote:But they also said it's unlikely arch rivals like the Chargers and Raiders would share a stadium
That is going by what has happened in the past. The rules for moving a team are vastly different now, and Kroenke isn't playing by them. If Kroenke doesn't exhaust all efforts keep the team in St. Louis (which he hasn't even come close to doing yet), then technically he can't move the team.JesusNEVERexisted wrote:Most all experts agree that billionaires get what they want and that eventually Kranky will be able to move his team to LA if he wants to.
