Only one true Missouri football team :)

[ChiefRocka]

LA will actually have a decent team next year.

[ThaVirus]

So, goodbye to the Governor's Cup?

[GloucesterChief]

St. Louis and Oakland aren't exactly big threats to hold over a cities head to get a new stadium deal. Wonder if we will start hearing about the potential of a team in San Antonio.

Raiders want to go to San Antonio there suppose to get a portion of the relocation fee.

I'm sure Jerry will fight them tooth and nail on keeping them out of Texas

Is it just a coincidence that it's the Rams being considered? I wouldn't think that their former LA connection would have any relevance, but I don't know.

I think the NFL would prefer that San Diego go. San Diego is a much better threat for holding a city hostage to extract stadium deals than Oakland or St. Louis.

[oaklandhater]

So Godell is going to offer the Raiders 200M to stay in oakland what a kick in the balls to the city of St louis.

That is incredible, ha. Surely they'll use it to fix the stadium, right? :hmmm:

I hadn't thought about this, but the three teams that applied were all once located in Los Angeles, and they're the only three teams that have ever been located in Los Angeles.

I'm so excited. The best possible outcome for this.

[eDave]

Rams need to go Retro Uniforms to open their first home game

[Kiimo]

I work in Century City, just down the road from Inglewood. I can support the Rams because they aren't in the AFCW and also because screw St. Louis.

No Raiders. That's the greatest part.

[Psyko Tek]

I don't bleive LA will support a team, let alone 2 unless they are in superbowls constantly

[The Franchise]

So Ramsfan.....you a Chiefs fan yet?

[Kiimo]

Not true. The new stadium is next to LAX. Everyone knows how to get to LAX. They will go to Inglewood to watch football, count on it. I work at 20th Century Fox, and they're already talking about getting a luxury box.

[eDave]

Yup. This gives SD and Oakland opportunity to bail.

Yeah, it's a crazy good time to purchase down there. I had a friend that recently purchased a place near Adams and Jeffersson it's gone up $100k in the last year.

With the 5 million square foot of office space going up in Hollywood, along with seven new hotels, the crazy ass condos on Sunset Plaza along with this new stadium, not to mention the billions being poured into downtown, Los Angeles is experiencing a renaissance.

I can sort of understand this attitude if you grew up in North Dakota and decide you are a big Rams fan. What does it matter what city they are in? But if you grow up in a city and the hometown team leaves it would be a dagger to the heart. That's full-on knockdown, drag-out divorce time. They disrespected your hometown.

Team relocation is terrible. We tend to forget that they're businesses because they brand themselves as a community figure. Then when a better deal comes along, they leave and do the same thing in the next city.

The whole phenomenon is weird. We're so loyal to sports teams and we pretend that it's something different than walking around in a Microsoft logo or a Wells Fargo Bank logo and rooting for their next earnings report. But it's no different.

We can't assume that St. Louis people will become Chiefs fans. The distance to KC and Indianapolis are almost exactly the same, and both Chicago and Nashville are less than an hour farther. St. Louis could completely spin out of our orbit toward another franchise, or they could fall into a huge internal civil war.

I can sort of understand this attitude if you grew up in North Dakota and decide you are a big Rams fan. What does it matter what city they are in? But if you grow up in a city and the hometown team leaves it would be a dagger to the heart. That's full-on knockdown, drag-out divorce time. They disrespected your hometown. The damage is irreparable.

I agree. I left KC but remain a Chiefs fan, but that is different from the team leaving the city.

When the Kings left KC I could never care about the Sacramento Kings, even when I lived in Northern California. I tried, but it just wasn't the same.

Although to be completely honest, I'd be more stoked if Los Angeles was inheriting the current Cardinals team rather than the current Rams team.

During the Rams' stay in the Buckeye State, the team was sold to grocery store magnate Dan Reeves, and on Jan. 12, 1946, 70 years ago Tuesday, Reeves finally got permission from the league to move the franchise to Los Angeles, some 2,000 miles from the nearest NFL team at the time.

Maybe, I'm a bit younger than you so don't really remember the Rams golden years or anything. Jerome Bettis might've been the main guy when I was watching. Anyways other than a few old die hards most people in L.A. have a team they already root for which I don't think is going to change. It'll be interesting to see the younger generation of fans who don't have a loyalty yet and have them actually grow up with a NFL team. The whole stadium complex and revitalization around Inglewood should be interesting. That place is pretty shitty and I only go around there now for concerts at the Forum

Honestly, I think the St. Louis area hatred for the Chicago Cubs may be a factor in former Rams fans not becoming Bears fans. That's what happened with me when I became a Chiefs fan at age 7or 8. My dad is a die-hard Cardinals fan and a moderate Bears fan. My first toy as a baby was a Fredbird doll. He taught me to hate the Cubs...passionately hate the Cubs...and to this day, I do.... He also tried raising me to be a Bears fan and I couldn't do it...once I began noticing that the Bears fans at school were the same ass-hat Cub fans that I argued with every day, I knew that I needed to find a different team. I had a difficult time rooting for the Bears anyways. I refuse to root for anything Chicago...because Cubs.

Does it sting Chiefs fans that the Rams were horrible for 15 of their 20 years in St Louis, but still went to 2 Super Bowls?

[ForeverChiefs58]

By a vote of 30-2, NFL teams approved the long-anticipated move of the St. Louis Rams franchise to Los Angeles, a city that has been vacant by the league for more than 20 years, for the 2016 season.

The franchise and league confirmed the move Tuesday night.

Team owners met in Houston on Tuesday and approved Stan Kroenke's plan to move the Rams franchise to Inglewood, Calif., into a proposed $1.9 billion stadium. The Rams moved from Los Angeles following the 1994 season but now are moving back.

The San Diego Chargers soon could eventually join them. They have one year to negotiate a deal to move into a shared stadium. If the Chargers passed on the chance, the Oakland Raiders would have the next crack to share the stadium with the Rams.

The Rams — and the Chargers, if they come to a deal — will pay a relocation fee of a whopping $550 million.

The cash-poor (by NFL standards) Raiders are on the outside looking in for now, which is not surprising. But they won't be left empty-handed, and neither will the Chargers if they stay put.

#Dolphins Stephen Ross also says #Chargers and Raiders each would receive $100 mil in stadium funding if they build in their current cities.

— Charles Robinson (@CharlesRobinson) January 13, 2016

The meetings featured a day's worth of presentations and negotiations, but ultimately the tandem of the Chargers and Raiders were denied their bid to enter into a shared stadium in Carson, Calif. Chargers owner Dean Spanos, after it became clear he didn't have the support in his team's co-bid, started to negotiate a deal with Kroenke. Spanos said at a news conference after the vote that he will take "some time" to look at his options.

The Rams and any other team that joins them will play temporarily at the L.A. Memorial Coliseum while the new stadium is built. It's unclear if the old stadium, built in 1921, is capable of holding two NFL teams for multiple seasons, and the league has looked into alternate temporary homes.

The Inglewood site will be built on the grounds of the the old Hollywood Park racetrack, and based on the proposed specs will be the biggest in the NFL — bigger than even AT&T Stadium, Jerry Jones' monstrous field in Dallas — at nearly a 300-acre complex. The Inglewood stadium is shovel-ready reportedly and is projected to open for the 2019 season. Its eventual cost could creep toward $3 billion.

St. Louis now has no NFL team for the first time in two decades, and San Diego might not be far behind. The Chargers have been in San Diego since 1961, moving from Los Angeles a year after the franchise’s founding. The Raiders have pinged back and forth from L.A. but have been in the Bay Area since 1994.

This outcome was so predictable. Just as I thought, the Chargers and Raiders each get $100 million to subsidize a new stadium.

I can see the Chargers sharing the stadium, it should work well. Not good for the Raiders in any way.

They should just build a new stadium in Oakland, they fill the damn thing so why not.

The Redskins are in the process of locating a new stadium as well and could be back in Maryland, DC, or in Virginia. Their stadium was one of the worst built POS I've ever seen and fell apart quickly. It's all rusty everywhere.

Rams coach Jeff Fisher, the man Kroenke hired in 2012, was asked multiple questions about his experience overseeing the Houston Oilers transition into the Tennessee Titans during his job interview. He must have nailed the answers, because Fisher, who is 27-36-1 with the Rams, is about to become the third coach since the AFL-NFL merger to receive a fifth season after a sub-.500 record in each of his first four.

LMAO I guess we know why Fisher is bulletproof despite long-term failure

Well, in El Nino years, it rains quite a bit. We're expected to have 14 inches of rain in February when generally, we get a little more than 14 inches a year.

Also, the dome means that regardless of the weather, Los Angeles will be able to host a Final Four, the NFL Draft, World Cup Soccer, Tennis Championships, the Super Bowl and the Olympics.

[Eleazar]

He hasn't coached a team to a winning record since 2008. He has had 6 winning seasons out of 21 as a head coach. And yet people think he's great because he lost a super bowl 15 years ago.

The only thing he seems to be good at is (usually) avoiding those double digit loss seasons that get coaches fired.

As I mentioned earlier in the thread, the Coliseum is undergoing a $300 million dollar makeover, in which a new press box and suites will be added, along with a new scoreboard.

Every existing seat will be removed and the capacity will be reduced from almost 100,000 to 77,000, which will allow for wider aisles and chairs along with seats much closer to the field, as the track will be removed.

It won't be anywhere near as nice as Kroenke's new stadium but it won't be a dump like it was in the 80's and 90's, either.

The football season is so short, though. At most you're in your 'home city' for 5 months of the year.

Play wherever you want - live wherever you want.

I understand baseball players that play every day and can't really travel in-season wanting to live where they work. I've never understood that in football. If it were me, I'd play in Texas so my earnings wouldn't get taxed nearly as highly and then live in SD. You'd still take a bit of a pop on property taxes, but there's no avoiding that.

So what happens in 15 years when the Rams stay steadily in that 6-10/9-7 window and haven't won shit in their new shiny stadium that sits 60-70% full every Sunday?

[DJ's left nut]

No, the NFL is not going back to St. Louis "in a few years" nor will expansion happen.

32 teams have enough issues filling out a healthy roster each Sunday, let alone adding two more cities in a quarterback starved league.

As though the NFL presently gives a shit about the product on the field.

If there is another billion or so in relocation fees and the networks are willing to chip in more money, the owners will sign off.

But fat hogs get slaughtered. The unchecked greed will be what eventually takes down the NFL.

In 15 years when the television experience is bordering on full VR, 60% full may be better than league average...

[ChiefsCountry]

You'd think that some of those agents would remind them that getting to LA will actually cost them a shitload due to California's tax structure.

But they won't. Because agents are agents and players are....well players are stupid, by and large.

Just think of the house size and what you can get in suburb St. Louis for the buck than in LA. Some of them will be in for a wake up call.

Don't think I'd love those cross-hatch shadows on the field.

That's a great point, but I imagine VR technology will be the last thing the NFL wants, considering they want nothing more to have their stadiums filled with bodies, but who knows?

Lets not forget, these athletes aren't going to LA just because of the weather, but to increase their own personal value by increasing their celebrity power.

Being a star in St. Louis vs being a star in LA...quite a bit different.

They can and will add one more team per division when they want to. They will add playoff teams and regular season games.

20 years ago - yeah.

I'm just not so sure that's the case any more. LeBron was a star because he won - going to Miami didn't change that. Carmelo's star hasn't done shit since he went to NY.

Peyton Manning became the biggest name in football via Indianapolis.

Media saturation has become so widespread that I just don't think you need to be in a major market to be a star. Moreover, these guys play in friggen helmets; where they play won't make much of a difference, IMO.

And screw St. Louis. Last in attendance, see what happens?

You can't be serious right now, can you?

Of course they're going to be ****ing last in the attendance when they have longest streak of non-winning seasons in the NFL. Haven't made the playoffs since 2004. And the owner had one foot out the door.

Attendance has little to no reason as to why the Rams left. Kroenke can make more money in LA and that is why the team is now there. End of discussion.

[DaneMcCloud]

Kroenke was smart with the stadium capacity, which is 72,000. The stadium will also be the home to NFL.com and the NFL Network and as such, I think the stadium will always sell out, especially with all of the corporations based in Los Angeles, along with all of the new corporations moving into Hollywood and DTLA the next five years.

Also, keep in mind that the Los Angeles Rams were extremely successful when they played in Los Angeles. From 1950 to 1989, they had 11 Division championships, one NFL Championship, 21 playoff appearances and won Super Bowl appearance. From 1950 to 1989, they only had 11 losing seasons, most of which occurred in the early 60's.

Kroenke will be motivated to put an excellent team on the field, as well as having a top notch front office and coaching staff because otherwise, he'll look like a fool for building a $2.6 billion dollar stadium that houses a losing team in an empty stadium.

Although it's not an NFL city and they most definitely don't deserve an NFL team, they aren't going anywhere. Their owner is spending a ton of money on upgrades and he has gotten the city to spend twice as much as he has without putting it in the hands of the voters. He originally tried to buy the Rams but they turned him down.

If they expanded to 36 teams, I wonder how the conferences would fall out. That's a tough one. A playoff system with three conferences of 12 teams would require a major shuffle of the playoff structure, though it could be interesting.

2 conferences.

3 6-team divisions in each conference; you play 10 games against your in-division foes and play every other conference on a rotating basis.

At that point every team in the division has the exact same schedule. The top 2 teams from each conference make it in with the two best records getting byes.

Why do I get the feeling that Kroenke is basically Rachel Phelps from Major League?

I think he wanted to run the team into the ground.

I like it. Put it into a memo and send it to the league office.

Looks like we'll be joining them next season. Multiple reports saying a deal is imminent.

Sad week for football.

[Valiant]

By a vote of 30-2, NFL teams approved the long-anticipated move of the St. Louis Rams franchise to Los Angeles, a city that has been vacant by the league for more than 20 years, for the 2016 season.

The franchise and league confirmed the move Tuesday night.

Team owners met in Houston on Tuesday and approved Stan Kroenke's plan to move the Rams franchise to Inglewood, Calif., into a proposed $1.9 billion stadium. The Rams moved from Los Angeles following the 1994 season but now are moving back.

The San Diego Chargers soon could eventually join them. They have one year to negotiate a deal to move into a shared stadium. If the Chargers passed on the chance, the Oakland Raiders would have the next crack to share the stadium with the Rams.

The Rams — and the Chargers, if they come to a deal — will pay a relocation fee of a whopping $550 million.

The cash-poor (by NFL standards) Raiders are on the outside looking in for now, which is not surprising. But they won't be left empty-handed, and neither will the Chargers if they stay put.

#Dolphins Stephen Ross also says #Chargers and Raiders each would receive $100 mil in stadium funding if they build in their current cities.

— Charles Robinson (@CharlesRobinson) January 13, 2016

The meetings featured a day's worth of presentations and negotiations, but ultimately the tandem of the Chargers and Raiders were denied their bid to enter into a shared stadium in Carson, Calif. Chargers owner Dean Spanos, after it became clear he didn't have the support in his team's co-bid, started to negotiate a deal with Kroenke. Spanos said at a news conference after the vote that he will take "some time" to look at his options.

The Rams and any other team that joins them will play temporarily at the L.A. Memorial Coliseum while the new stadium is built. It's unclear if the old stadium, built in 1921, is capable of holding two NFL teams for multiple seasons, and the league has looked into alternate temporary homes.

The Inglewood site will be built on the grounds of the the old Hollywood Park racetrack, and based on the proposed specs will be the biggest in the NFL — bigger than even AT&T Stadium, Jerry Jones' monstrous field in Dallas — at nearly a 300-acre complex. The Inglewood stadium is shovel-ready reportedly and is projected to open for the 2019 season. Its eventual cost could creep toward $3 billion.

St. Louis now has no NFL team for the first time in two decades, and San Diego might not be far behind. The Chargers have been in San Diego since 1961, moving from Los Angeles a year after the franchise’s founding. The Raiders have pinged back and forth from L.A. but have been in the Bay Area since 1994.


Does stl get some of that money for leaving? With most of the stadiums being state and locally funded to be built and nfl teams almost worth billions i am shocked they are not sued when jumping cities.

Maybe someday someone challenges them.

[Valiant]

As I mentioned earlier in the thread, the Coliseum is undergoing a $300 million dollar makeover, in which a new press box and suites will be added, along with a new scoreboard.

Every existing seat will be removed and the capacity will be reduced from almost 100,000 to 77,000, which will allow for wider aisles and chairs along with seats much closer to the field, as the track will be removed.

It won't be anywhere near as nice as Kroenke's new stadium but it won't be a dump like it was in the 80's and 90's, either.

Reduce supply by almost 25% to increase demand and cost. Smart.

Fisher does 'just enough' to keep from losing his job...
