Re: NFL should bring Rams back to L.A.

LIKE THE POST A LOT , I would love to see the rams where they really belong and thats in L.A. The Fans love the rams and when you think about it , They sold out the biggest stadium in the league the big C home of the Rams long before some here where born.I was born here and live here and i will say its not the same place it was when I was growing up it still is a great place to be ! So i take offense to the fruits crap go to san fran for that crap ! When they where at the Big C they sold out most the time at over 100,000. while the dodgers where winning world series and the Laker's where winning championships , Let see any other city do that !
and yes there are a lot of L.A. Fans that own season tickets at the dome , I would be willing to say that if someone had the #'s that most of the fans still reside here in L.A. Now I know the Rams have millions of fans all over the world not only in L.A. But don't put down L.A. fans thats not right ether and if it was not for the L.A. fan loving the Rams so much you might not have a Rams team at all ! The history is long here the foundation was built here for the rams so please in the future don't tear down a place and FANS that helped make the Rams what they are today.This is still a very bitter thing for some Rams fan here.you have a team since 1946 and they are taken away by very deceitful purpose by a person that could care less about history or the fans !

Georgia Frontiere is the owner and chairman of the St. Louis Rams.

She inherited ownership of the team in 1979 after the death of her then-husband, Carroll Rosenbloom. The inheritance was designed as a tax dodge so that Georgia would not have to pay high taxes on Rosenbloom's estate, and it appears that he never intended for her to have a role with the team. But that was not Georgia's intention at all as she immediately took over control as owner and through her lawyers and tax attorneys began to make major changes to the team's organization. She quickly fired her stepson Steve Rosenbloom as the head-office executive and began hiring people loyal to her.

A native of St. Louis, Missouri, Georgia moved the Rams to St. Louis, which was a financially risky proposition initally but soon proved to be a goldmine as the city of St. Louis provided a publicly funded stadium for $260-million, and more than $22-million was guaranteed in annual luxury suite and ticket revenues. For a period of time, the St. Louis Rams were exposed to a great deal of public humiliation as the press and other NFL teams made fun of them for having the league's only female owner. There is a popular story that the Rams once entered the visiting team locker room at another team's stadium and found that the towels and the soaps provided to them were pink and that a lot of pink bunting had been hung on the walls.
