OFFICIAL (and only) "Rams to L.A." Thread

[sjacksonrules]

The owner of the Vikings just came out and said they are not moving to L.A. Where is stan saying the Rams are not going anywhere.

O NO! This MUST mean we ARE moving......

You really think that a business man like Kroenke would take away leverage he has to help get a new stadium in St Louis?

Keep up your delusion man if it helps you sleep at night. I will bet you anything that the Rams will be right here AT HOME in St Louis for many years to come. Stan had to go through a lot of trouble to acquire the full ownership of this team he is not about to give it up now after waiting over 16 years.

Do you really think the chargers aren't going to l.a.? Because I will bet ya they do. And if they do and then l.a. wants a second team. Would you really want the Rams competing with the chargers for a fan base? I wouldn't and apparently you would rather run this team into the ground just to get closer to them.... Guess it sounds like a good idea to you to get rid of the best front office we have had in many years. Have fun with this dream of yours while I enjoy the St Louis Rams play football.

Wow! Only time will tell. But do you think Stan will put up with buying 13000 seats a game so the the rams can be televised for 8 home games. Rams were 30 out of 32 teams as far as attendance. At least to me that doesn't sound like real good fan support. There are still more Ram fans in L.A than there is in st Louis.

Really? Where did you get your numbers from because I have a good idea where it came from and your sitting on it. I don't know how on earth you would know that there are more Rams fans in l.a. than in st louis. Do you know this weeks lottery numbers too? Did you go door to door and ask everyone in st louis and l.a.?

I got the stats from ESPN. You may think thats not a creditable source. I think the figurers are over inflated.

Did you know Mike Horn was at the bring back the rams rally and he never played a down in L.A.

Crystal balls? DUH!!!!

yawn... is this thread still going?

Don't really see the argument (I sure as heck didn't read any of this dribble), Stan didn't go through all the trouble in helping Georgia move to St. Louis, MO (his home state I might add) just to move them back to lala land when he finally achieves ownership.

Why do so many folks on this board keep feeding this troll of all trolls? Ignore him and he'll eventually go away.

[netminder]

He wanted a team any team. He doesn't care if it's in st Louis or Mexico. Now he has the team lets see what happens. Can you say L.A Rams . I knew you could.

No, you did not get a stat from ESPN that shows there are more Rams fans in LA than St. Louis. ESPN has lots of wonderful stats to peruse, but that is not one of them.

However, I will say there absolutely SHOULD be more Rams fans in LA than St. Louis. With a metro population 10 times greater than St. Louis, surely there SHOULD be more, 10 times more, Rams fans there.

Netminder did send me a link to an ESPN site with stadium attendance stats, but I do NOT trust their stats. According to their stats, St. Louis had lower attendance last year than the year prior. I know this to be false, as most of the talk was how it was harder to find tickets with Sam behind center, and a team winning more games than they had in previous years combined. These stats also didn't show data from the years of continual sellouts. They are highly suspect IMO.

Here is what mayor Slay said about keeping the Rams.
"We have a pot of money; there is money available for doing that," said Slay, while also noting: "Now, there's not enough money to put $200 million in new improvements or to build a new facility.
