Re: Turf war pits Rams against the dome
Does anyone remember some of us warning everyone not to get too comfortable with the Rams in St. Louis? This is just a reminder. I seem to recall the Rams putting up a huge fuss about stadium conditions when they were in Anaheim as a precursor to, and reason for, moving to St. Louis.
If L.A. gets it's sh!t together and actually has a stadium/business plan in place and then waves millions of dollars under Georgia's nose...well, it's happened once already. To me, Georgia is on par with Al Davis in many ways and when the Raiders moved to L.A. I didn't ever think they'd move back to Oakland. I don't really think the Rams will move back to L.A. either. I didn't think they'd ever leave L.A. for that matter. The point is, you just don't know about some owners (Davis, Georgia) and what they're going to do.
Georgia had the Rams for 10 years before moving to St. Louis. Now, she's had them 10 years in St. Louis and the team is clashing with dome officials, threatening litigation. Is it a smoke screen to bail out? Probably not, but it's a possibility.
