Well yea, HUb, but you gotta go back farther than that!

Ok, fine. Over their entire time in St. Louis, the Rams have averaged 63,886 per game. During that same time period in LA, the Rams averaged 52,873 per game.

Well yea, HUb, but look at last year.....that was the worst attendance the Rams have ever seen!

Really? The 2007 Rams averaged 63,044 per game. That single season is better than any season in nearly the final two decades of LA Rams football.



Why do we keep having to have these silly turf tiffs and hometown hassles?

Sadly Fleece, I'm afraid the facts in this will be lost yet again.

Thanks for all the hard work, Statman! But what is starting to concern me is what just happened in Seattle with the NBA franchise. Apparently they also had an "iron-clad" lease and ultimately it did NOT prevent the new owner (some Okie-probably a Sooners fan) from moving the team. I know that you've posted numerous times that the Rams lease with the City of St. Louis would be extemely difficult if not impossible to break, but after what's just happened with Seattle I just don't know anymore. Got comments?

WHAT SAY YE?
